Create a Free-form/Freehand Markup

To create a freehand markup

• Choose the pencil tool from the toolbar.

• Click on the markup to select it and drag it to the precise location you want to markup, if required. 

The markup is added with the color, stroke width, and fill, with default settings or as set in the 'Stroke' tool. You can change them as required.

To change the stroke color and width

• Click on the markup to select it
• Click the 'Stroke' tool
• Choose the color from the palette
  • Alternatively, use the color picker at the bottom right to choose a custom color.
• Size - Use the slider to set up the brush width for the markup

Your selection takes effect on the currently selected markup and is auto-saved for your next markup tool.

The markup element is added as a layer to the 'Draft' group. It is shown in the layer editor on the left.

• Use the icon to show or hide the layer
• Click the icon to remove an element added by mistake
• Click the element label in the layer editor and edit it with a brief description of its purpose, if needed, to keep your elements organized.
• Go to the next tool if you want to add more markup elements.
• Once you are done with the markup elements, save the layer group as a markup. See Publish Markups for more details.
