Teachers can now annotate presentations and digital lessons. These tools allow teachers to model work and emphasize content on slides.

If slides are shared with students during a lesson, students won't have access to slide annotation tools.


To access slide annotation tools, open a lesson and select Present to Class or Invite Students and Present from the drop-down menu. You can also test the annotation tools in Preview mode.

Access the tools menu by selecting Annotation icon at the bottom left of the slide. The area that can be marked up will be highlighted.

You can use the edge handles to resize and the box on top to rotate shapes and drawings. Note: Resizing text boxes will adjust the box size but not the font size.
