Annotations

Annotation

Annotations within Scalar allow you to embed captions, metadata, or additional information in an uploaded piece of media.

To start annotating, select the "Paper Clip" icon in the tool bar at the top of your selected media's page.

From this page, click and drag on your image to select the area for your annotation. Enter text to serve as the annotation's title, then click save.

Click "save" and scroll down.

Now you will see all your annotations in a more detailed format. Here you can edit the coordinates, as well as entering further description and adding tags if you wish.

Click the "Done" button when finished annotating.

The Done button will return you to the media page, where any annotations you added should be visible. Keep in mind, you will later have the chance to show or hide these annotations when utilizing the media on a Page.
