Start annotating over anything with i3ANNOTATE

✅ You can: Annotate on anything, without affecting the original

Annotating lets you draw or write over whatever’s on your i3CONNECT interactive display: websites, presentations, images, maps, and even a shared laptop screen. The Annotation tool adds a digital layer on top, so you can highlight, sketch, and explain in the moment without editing the original content. Perfect for quick feedback, spontaneous ideas, and sessions where collaboration moves fast.

❌ You cannot: Annotate within an app

Want your notes saved inside the original file (like a PowerPoint or PDF)? Use the annotation tools inside that app. The Annotation tool in i3CONNECT Studio sits on top of everything, so you’ll either take a screenshot to keep your markup or send it to Whiteboard to continue working.

How to annotate

  1. Tap on the marker on the left or right of the screen to open the side menu.

  2. Tap on the annotate icon from the side menu

  3. Annotation starts up. Your screen content will remain as it currently is, but you should see the whiteboard menu bars appear at the top left of the screen, as well as at the bottom of the screen

  4. Start drawing

    • Write or draw with your pen

    • Move around the canvas, or drag post-its with your finger

    • Erase big areas by wiping across the screen with your palm

  5. Assign different tools to your pen and finger.

    • Pen: write in blue

    • Finger: pan or select or write in red

  6. Save your work:

    • Take a screenshot to capture annotations

    • Or send your notes to Whiteboard for more editing and sharing

Troubleshooting

Nothing appears on screen

It may look that way, but check that the whiteboard menu’s haven’t already appeared in the top left of the screen. If you only see a circle ball in the top left, then press on that to show the menus.

Pen or finger is not doing what you expected

Using your pen, tap on the tool you wish to assign to your pen. Then try it out on the whiteboard. Repeat the process for your finger by using your finger to tap on another tool (we recommend the select tool or the erase tool).

You need notes saved inside a file

Use the app’s built-in tools if they exist (for example PowerPoint’s pen tools or a PDF annotation app). However, not every app has these annotation tools included.
