Change author for annotations

The notes in annotations are marked with the name of the device (e.g. JJW iPad). I’d like to be able to set the author for the annotations (e.g. jjw DTTG). This will help me track across the various annotation tools that I use.


JJW

This is set the first time you create an annotation and can’t be changed after that. We are looking at the possibility of adding an option to the Settings for a future release.

The limitation for the first time is standard for all apps. I look for the change in the future.

Thanks!

Any news on this? I messed up :sweat_smile:

Nothing to report at this time.

Damn. The OS autocorrected my initials to “Pay” when I confirmed the modal. This is going to get old real fast. Would wiping, reinstalling, and re-syncing everything allow me to reset it, or shouldn’t I even bother?

A reinstallation should take care of that but only you can decide if it’s worth it, trading one aggravation for another :wink:

Side note: A future version of DEVONthink To Go will allow to change the author name.
