Add/Export Private Annotations on Case Materials
Reviewers can add annotations (private notes) to materials in a candidate’s file and export those annotations in a PDF file for offline access. This makes it easy to highlight the most important parts of a packet and track and revisit thoughts when evaluating materials.
Annotations are private notes and are only visible to the reviewer who adds them. However, much like paper notes, annotations may be discoverable as evidence in certain legal proceedings.
