Annotate Toolbar on the Draft Preview Tab of Draft Invoice Approvals
Use this toolbar to mark up a draft invoice with annotations, such as underlining, highlighting, 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 Draft Invoice Approvals. 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 Draft Invoice Approvals topic.
When you use the annotate tools to highlight, underline, and strike through text, you can also add a comment to markup that will display when someone hovers over the markup. For example if you struck out some text, you may want to identify replacement text or a note of explanation. To do this, you highlight, underline, or 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 a box that displays the information for the text you just marked up. In that box, click
and then click
Edit. The field in the box that displays the text you marked up is now editable. You can delete the text and type a comment about your markup. 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, and when someone hovers over it, they see the comment or text that you entered in the field on the markup panel.
