Guide / On the schematic

Markups

Draw shapes, arrows, text, highlights and notes on the schematic, like a PDF reader's comment tools, and download the marked-up PDF.

Draw markups

Click the round Markup button at the bottom left, above the zoom buttons. The markup tools appear at the top.
Pick a tool and draw on the page: rectangles, ellipses, clouds, lines, arrows, polygons and connected lines, the pencil and highlighter, text, text boxes and callouts, sticky notes and stamps.
Choose the colour, fill, opacity and line style before drawing, or select a markup to change it.
Press Esc, or click Markup again, when you're done.

Tips

Shortcuts: V select · R rectangle · E ellipse · C cloud · L line · A arrow · P pencil · H highlighter · T text.
Editors and owners add markups; everyone on the project sees them, share links included.

Choose highlight, underline or strike-through, then drag across the words on the schematic.
To suggest a change, choose Replace text: strike the words and type what should go there.
Choose Insert text and click where text should be added.

With Select (V), click a markup to move, resize or restyle it; Delete selected removes it.
Undo and redo are in the markup tools.
The eraser removes pencil and highlighter marks you drag across.
Hide markups hides them while you read the schematic; drawing shows them again.

Open the schematic's menu and choose Download PDF with markups (also in the markup tools).
The PDF has your markups drawn on it, and sticky notes as real PDF comments, so it opens with them in any PDF reader.

Tip

On the Free plan you can download 3 PDFs a month (markups and proposals together); Pro has no limit. On a phone, markups are shown; they're drawn on a computer.
