Removing Annotations

If you no longer need an annotation or annotation group, you can delete it.

Removing Individual Annotations

If you no longer need an annotation, you can delete it.

  1. Select Map Annotations . The Map Annotations tool opens and displays all available annotation groups.

  2. Select the annotation group that contains the annotation(s) you want to delete. The annotation group expands to display all annotations in the group.

  3. Next to the individual annotation you want to delete, select the menu menu, three vertical dots, then select Delete.

    To delete an individual annotation, use the menu next to the annotation you want to delete.

  4. A confirmation dialog asks you if you want to delete the item. To delete it, select Delete Item. Otherwise, select Cancel.

    Deleting an annotation is permanent. You cannot recover a deleted annotation; if you want to use a deleted annotation again, you will need to recreate it.

  5. Select Save. The annotations group closes automatically.

  6. To close the Map Annotations tool, select Map Annotations .

You can also delete individual annotations from the Properties dialog. When the Properties dialog is open, select Delete.

If you no longer need an annotation group, you can delete the entire group and all of the annotations in it.

  1. Select Map Annotations . The Map Annotations tool opens and displays all available annotation groups.

  2. Select the annotation group that you want to delete. The annotation group opens.

    Deleting an annotation is permanent. You cannot recover a deleted annotation; if you want to use a deleted annotation again, you will need to recreate it.

    After you delete an annotation group, the Map Annotations tool displays any remaining annotation groups. If no annotation groups remain, it prompts you to create a new annotation. See Drawing New Annotations.
