Canopy files can be annotated directly within the Canopy Practitioner App. Currently, annotations can only be seen by firm members and are not visible to contacts. Annotations provide an excellent way to communicate with firm members and make any necessary notes on a file.
Note: Only files that have been saved to Canopy Files can be annotated.

2. To begin annotating, click on Annotate under Annotation Modes.
Additionally, in this list, you can click Shapes

tab to view the document.
