Navigating in the Image Annotator
Click the Edit button when hovering over any Image thumbnail to open the Annotator
Your Image is displayed in the main Annotator workspace
Navigate to other Images in the same Revision without exiting the Annotator by clicking the Images button at bottom left-hand corner

Click the thumbnail of any other Image to see it full-sized within the Annotator workspace
Exit the Annotator by clicking the Back Arrow button at the top left

Click-and-drag the corners of the rectangle to size the element larger or smaller

Be sure to click the Save button below the main toolbar after you resize any elements
The Marker tools allow you to communicate all different notes and callouts on each Image without creating much visual

The Paint tool allows you to specify the color of your annotations
Select your desired color with the Paint tool prior to selecting another annotation tool, and the annotation will appear in that color

Select the tool and then click any annotation to erase it
