This is a really old thread which has been revived and DT has moved on a lot.

I agree that there is lot of room for this to become a native function but their are numerous scripts on this forum which will do all this and have a lot more functionality besides.

korm’s original annotation and tagging script is evergreen: [url][Make an Annotation with Links, Notes, Tags v2](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/make-an-annotation-with-links-notes-tags-v2/17221/1)]

If you want a little bit more functionality (and the added complexity that goes with it) then try this : [url][Put up Example page](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/put-up-example-page/67/1)]

For certain types of annotation where its important to see the passage in context then try this: [url][Whole page pdf annotating](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/whole-page-pdf-annotating/18063/1)]

and if you want to produce a table of annotations and the source documents from where they originate you could try something like this: [url][Export an index of annotations to a numbers spreadsheet](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/export-an-index-of-annotations-to-a-numbers-spreadsheet/17788/1)]

Maybe you want to layout your annotations on a timeline: [url][Export to Aeon Timeline](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/export-to-aeon-timeline/16552/1)]

What about a concordance of your annotations: [url][Create concordance for a selection of records](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/create-concordance-for-a-selection-of-records/17460/1)]

With 60 000 posts the forums are a treasure trove of ideas. Explore them.
