Annotation Layers

Each user who annotates a file in Showbie gets an annotation layer for that file. You can adjust which layers are visible.

Layers help keep your annotations organized.

You can use the Layers Tool to show or hide annotations and filter them by the Teacher, Student, or annotations made in the Shared items!

Annotation Layers

How to use layers:

  1. Open a file that has annotations.

  2. Tap the Layers icon (three stacked squares) in the top-right corner.

  3. Toggle each layer on or off to show or hide annotations.

✍️ A layer will only appear if there are annotations on it. For example, the Student layer only shows if a student has added annotations.
