Accepting Annotations

You and other individuals can insert comments and notes next to content in a topic. Annotations do not become part of the actual content; they are simply comments for your internal use. When other individuals send you reviewed topics (FLTREV files) that contain annotations, you can accept those annotations so that they are copied into the source file in your project. See About Topic Reviews and Contributions.

How to accept annotations

Select File>Review>Topic Reviews.

The Topic Reviews window pane opens.
Click in the drop-down field at the top of the window pane, select Inbox.

All reviewed topics that you have brought into your project, but have not yet been accepted, are listed in the pane.
In the list, select the topic with the annotations that you want to accept.
In the local toolbar, click . You may need to drag the divider in the window pane to see this button.

The Accept Annotations dialog opens.
Click the check box next to each annotation that you want to accept.

You can also use the Check All button if you want to select all annotations.
Click OK.

The annotations are copied to the matching source file in the project, and the Info column in the Topic Reviews window pane displays "Changed."

Note: You can also accept entire reviewed topics or contribution topics. Doing this automatically causes all annotations within the topic to be accepted. See Accepting Reviewed Topics and Accepting Contribution Files.
