Welcome to our Annotation System

A quick introduction to using this system:

Viewing pages
Now that you are running Ravel and and Annotation plugin, all pages you visit on the World-Wide Web will be annotatable. To view existing annotations and replies , click on one of the small colored arrows:
- yellow arrows designate an old annotation
- red arrows designate annotations that are new since your last visit to this page
- green arrows mark annotations that have new replies since your last visit to this page.

Click on the

button at the top of the page to make a new annotation.

A new window will open that asks for several things:

Protections for the annotation:
- Choose public if you want anyone to be able to read it
- Check private if only you can read it
- Choose group if you want to designate one or more groups that can read it. If you check groups, you must also choose which individual groups have privileges for this annotation.
Enter a title for this annotation
Enter the text you want to annotate (e.g., this is where the yellow arrows will be placed on the document). You can copy (Edit->copy) the text from the main window and paste (Edit->paste) it in this box.
Enter your annotation, or note.
The annotation can contain HTML tags. If you want it to be displayed as HTML, check the box that says "Treat text as HTML".
Finally, click submit.
