On Mac, you select annotations with your trackpad or mouse: click once to select, click and drag to move, and right-click (or two-finger trackpad press) for context options. If you've used Scriptation on iPad or iPhone, this replaces the finger or Apple Pencil tap interactions you know from those devices.

The right-click menu

Right-click an annotation (or two-finger press on a trackpad) to open a context menu with options to:

• Change the style of the annotation with the Inspector;
• Add an attached note;
• Copy and paste an annotation;
• Create a Saved Annotation from the note;
• Remove the annotation.

You can also delete annotations by selecting the note and pressing Delete on the keyboard.

Selecting multiple annotations

To select multiple notes at once, use the Selection Tool on the Annotation Toolbar. This tool is useful when you want to Group, Merge, Move, Copy and Paste, Delete, or Resize multiple related notes.
