Clearing Annotations

[shannonm]

If I draw a diagram and have my students come up and label them...Is there a way to delete only the students' labels, but not my diagram. I know the eraser tool would work, but is there a way to box in my diagram or lock it down so that it can't be deleted during the 'reset".

Which software are you using?

One way to do this is to use the camera tool to take a picture of your annotations before your students label your diagram. Then you can delete your actual annotations and keep the photo. Lock the photo of the diagram or put it on the background layer of your page. This way, your students can annotate over/on your diagram and then to clear them, you can just use the Clear Annotations icon on your tool bar.

Hope this helps... let me know if you need any further instructions on this or clarification!!

Good luck :)

If you've saved your flipchart before your students do the editing, use the Reset Page tool (from the Edit menu, or there is an icon in the toolbar). All of the unsaved information will be lost, leaving the originally saved page.
