Annotations Sidebar Ideas
This is a proposal for changes in Annotations Sidebar based on bugs filed by users. I also added a few of my own ideas.
Features asked by users:
- 197726 – Show annotations pop-up text in the reviews sidebar
- 448175 – Show color next to type (if applicable) in the "Annotations" sidebar list
- 417145 – Feature Request: Searching PDF Annotation content
- 338747 – Allow toggling of annotation icons in PDF documents
- 323454 – Show me where annotations are when I select them in the "review" sidebar.
- 328961 – Highlight annotation in review side bar when double clicking on it
If we add annots content and color in sidebar along with annots type, we can solve bugs 197726, 448175 and 417145.
Proposed design:
Features that I think that might be useful:
- hide empty (without comment) annots from sidebar
- open (maximize) annots in sidebar
- edit annots in sidebar
This leaves viewport clutter free from annots when editing.
Proposed design:
Alternative design that doesn't use annots background color:
All suggestions and ideas for improvement are welcome!
