Instructions - Annotating a Document in Revver

Step 1 - Select a Document

From your documents view in Revver, click on and select a document you wish to annotate.

Step 2 - Preview the Document

With the document selected, click on the 'Eye' icon located in the side-sheet on the right hand side of the Revver screen.

Step 3 - Set the Previewer to 'Annotate' mode

With the previewer panel open, locate the drop down menu at the top, click it, and select the 'Annotate' option.

Note: If you would like to view the document in Full Screen mode, click on the expansion icon located here:

Step 4 - Choose what annotations to make

With the previewer now in annotate mode, you have a number of options available to you to use:

The full list of options includes:

  • Underline

  • Highlight

  • Rectangle - Allows you to draw boxes and rectangles within the document

  • Free Text

  • Free Hand Highlight

  • Free Hand - Drawing tool allows you to draw within the document

  • Note

  • Squiggly - Allows you to highlight text and place a squiggly line underneath

  • Strikeout - Allows you to highlight text and strike it out with a line

  • Insert Text

  • Replace Text

With each tool, the color, size, width, and font (if applicable to the tool) can be changed using the options to the right of the tools.

Step 5 - Make the annotation

Once you've selected a tool, make the annotation you would like to make. Text based options like underline, highlight, squiggly, and strikeout will require you to highlight the text you want to annotate. While free hand options like the rectangle tool, or the free hand text, highlight, and free hand tools will allow you to make the annotations where ever you would like.
