You can work with annotations in the following view modes:

- For DocuWorks documents and DocuWorks binders
  Viewer - document view, split document view, and page sorter and document view (document view) modes.
- For DocuWorks containers
  Open a DocuWorks container in Viewer, and work in the document view.

  You can work with annotations by displaying the [Edit Desktop] window in the thumbnail view.

The [Edit Desktop] window is a tentative Viewer window launched in a mode for editing annotations in the workspace. Steps to use the [Edit Desktop] window are the same as those for Viewer.
