5 This add-on enables users to add notes, or annotations, to Web pages. |
|

|
7 Usage |
|
8 ----- |
|
9 |
|
10 To switch the annotator on, left-click the pencil icon in the Add-on Bar. The |
|
11 icon should turn yellow: this indicates that the annotator is active. To switch |
|
12 it off, click it again. Switching it on/off only stops you from entering |
|
13 annotations: existing annotations are still displayed. |
|
14 |
|
15 When the annotator is active and the user moves the mouse over a page element |
|
16 that can be annotated, the annotator highlights that elements by giving it a |
|
17 yellow background. |
|
18 |
|
19 If the user clicks on a highlighted element the add-on opens a dialog for the |
|
20 user to enter the annotation. When the user hits <return> the annotation is |
|
21 saved. |
|
22 |
|
23 Elements which have been annotated are displayed with a yellow border: when the |
|
24 user moves the mouse over one of these elements, the add-on displays the |
|
25 annotation associated with that element. |
|
26 |
|
27 To view all annotations in a list, right-click the pencil icon. |
|
28 |
|
29 The add-on is deactivated in private browsing mode, meaning that new annotations |
|
30 can't be created although existing ones are still shown. On exiting private |
|
31 browsing the add-on returns to its previous activation state. |
|

33 Known Issues/Limitations |
|
34 ------------------------ |
|
35 |
|
36 It is not possible to delete annotations, or to edit them after creating them, |
|
37 but it would be simple to add this. |
|
38 |
|
39 When right-clicking the annotator icon the add-on bar's context-menu is shown: |
|
40 this is tracked by |
|
41 [bug 626326](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626326). |
|
42 |
|
43 The list of annotations should be anchored to the widget. The annotation |
|
44 editor, and the annotation itself, should be anchored to the element which is |
|
45 annotated. The will be done when the implementation of panel-anchoring is |
|
46 extended. |
