How do I view and manage annotations in my media in Canvas Studio?

If you have added annotations to your media in Canvas Studio, you can view, edit, and delete annotations. Annotations include a headline and text, and you can also add links and hyperlinks. When viewers play the annotated media, the media pauses and annotations display.

Notes:

  • After logging into Canvas Studio through Canvas Global Navigation, you can add annotations to your uploaded media. Annotations cannot be added to your media anywhere else in the Canvas interface.
  • You can only add annotations to your own uploaded media. However, you can add time-stamped comments to media that is shared with you.
