Annotate Toolbar on the Draft Preview Tab in Interactive Billing
Use this toolbar to mark up a draft invoice with annotations, such as highlighting, circling, and striking through text, and with comments.
This toolbar applies if you use the Invoice Approvals and Markup on Draft Invoices features. The toolbar opens when you click Annotate on the main toolbar of the Draft Preview tab in Interactive Billing.
This is one of several markup toolbars. For general instructions that apply for all these tools, see the "Toolbar Options for Marking Up the Draft Invoice" section in the Draft Preview Tab of the Interactive Billing Form topic.
When you use the annotate tools to highlight, underline, and strike through text, you can also add a comment to this markup that will display when someone hovers over the markup. For example if you strike out some text, you may want to add a comment with some replacement text. To do this, you strike through the text, and then click the text. This opens the markup panel to the right of the draft invoice on which you see an entry for the markup you just made. It also displays the text you just marked up. Click
for the markup entry and then click
Edit to replace the marked up text in the markup panel with a comment about the replacement text. Click
Save in the box. Note that this does not delete the text that you marked up on the draft invoice. The original text remains in the draft invoice. When someone hovers over the text, they see the comment that you entered in the field on the markup panel.
