You can access annotation tools in the exhibit window via the IMAGE TOOLS tab, and from the Presentation window via the Annotation Tools Gallery button.

The Annotation Tools Gallery button in the Presentation window

During a presentation, annotations made in the exhibit viewer of the main program window can be made to be immediately visible in the Presentation window. Conversely, annotations made in the Presentation window can be made to be immediately visible in the exhibit viewer. However, for this reciprocity to work consistently, the annotation layer to which the annotation was applied must be configured to be visible in both the exhibit viewer and the Presentation window. For more information about annotation layers, see: Annotation Layers.

Annotation tools are available in the main window and in the presentation window. The function of each is described here:

Tool	Description
Select	Selects annotations that have been added to the exhibit. Allows you to re-size, reposition, and delete annotations.
Crop Zoom	Zooms in on a rectangular area of the exhibit. Use this tool to draw attention to a part of the exhibit or in conjunction with the Screen Capture tool to create a screen capture. For more information on screen captures, see: Screen Captures.
Tear Out	Creates floating zoom areas that can be resized, repositioned, or closed as needed. Tear outs contains whatever annotations that were applied to the exhibit as well as any that are created as the tear out is open. For more information see: Tear Out Tool.
Magnifier	Creates a movable rectangular area that magnifies that part of the exhibit it is moved over.
Pan	Moves the exhibit around in the exhibit window.
