Use View and Markup

You can use the View and Markup tool to add markups to items, allowing you to annotate items without altering the item itself.

All markup entities are saved in a markup file, which is associated and overlaid on the image. There can be more than one author per markup file. A new layer is automatically created for each new markup file author (determined by the login user name), allowing them to see other author's markups but not edit them.

There are two versions of the View and Markup Tool (HTML5 and ActiveX). You can choose which version of the View and Markup tool you would like to use by going to Personal Settings > User Settings > BRAVA_DEFAULT.
Tip: The default is Detect which triggers the most appropriate version based on your browser.

The Side Panel

The Brava side panel includes information about the document and frequently-used processes for the workflow.

Information about the document, including the filename, description, and status, can be found in the Document Information area.

Use the Compare area to compare the current version with previous revisions and files.

The Mark Up area displays what markups have been made and by whom. Use the Eye icon to remove the selected markups from the document and see only the remaining markups.

The Workflow Information area displays where the markups are in the workflow, including the node and the workflow start date.

You can vote or comment on the workflow and see the panel members in the Workflow Decision area. You can also revoke your comment.

Use the Rendering Mode area to enable a full download of the document, with a desktop-focused interface for detailed markup creation and has a more mobile-friendly interface. This may be preferred over the Online Server mode, which streams pages and sections of the document on-demand.

Please note that all documents, drawings, and new markups will be compatible in all versions of the View and Markup tool. This ensures that any user will be able to view and markup items with the same tools, regardless of the browser they are running.

If you'd rather use your preferred editing program on your computer to add markup to items in document containers, you can use the Desktop App to make items available offline.
