Document markup: add quick annotations to files | iOS 11 Guide [iPad]

In iOS 11 you can easily add annotations and other markup elements to documents.

To do so, open up a document on your device – perhaps an emailed PDF, or a document you have lying around in iCloud.

Then tap the markup icon in the top right corner – it looks like a pen. Then, use your finger or an Apple Pencil to add notes or pointers. You can use the control panel at the bottom to change the color or style of your annotations.

Tap Done when you’ve finished. The annotations will be safely saved to the document. You can then share it by email or any other method via the Share button.
