    View, search, and remove annotations

    Documents gathers all your annotations in one place so you can easily view and even search through them. This is handy when you need to quickly find the parts of a document you consider important. 

    Jump to:
    • View annotations and search through them
    • Remove annotations

    View annotations and search through them

    1. Open a file.
    2. Tap  at the top right on your iPad or  at the bottom on your iPhone.
    3. Open the Annotations tab on the right.
    4. Here, you can see all your annotations sorted by page number. You can tap an annotation to jump to the corresponding page.
    5. To search for a word or phrase within your annotations, tap the search field and type your query. On iPhone, slightly scroll down to reveal the search field. Documents searches through highlighted and underlined text, pop-up and text notes.
    6. To filter annotations by color, tap the color wheel near the search field and pick a color.

    Remove annotations
