Deleting annotations

When a user creates an annotations in a replica case, the annotations need to be synchronized in the master case. When synchronization occurs, the replica case's annotated text displays in the Edit Annotation dialog box with the short name of the user who added the annotation or note. You must be in the Select Annotations mode to delete annotations.

Before deleting an annotation, please review the information in the following table.

Deleting Annotation Considerations

If you delete an annotation that is linked to a fact or research authority/extract, the annotation will be deleted but the fact or authority/extract record remains on the respective spreadsheet and retains a link to the document.

When deleting a spreadsheet or case records, CaseMap will also delete all annotations associated with the records and spreadsheets.

If you delete an object, authority, or extract record that has annotated linked documents attached to it, the annotations will be deleted with the record. CaseMap will display a message when this occurs, displaying how many linked facts and annotations are attached to the record and will prompt you to confirm the deletion.

You cannot delete an annotation in a replica case if the same annotation already exists or was created in the master case. You can delete an annotation in a replica if it was created in the replica.

You can you delete an annotation in the master case, if it was created in the master and also exists in an outstanding replica. The replica annotation will not merge back into the master.

You can delete an annotation in the master case, if it was created in a replica and synchronized into the master case.

Annotations edits made in a replica are merged with the master whether or not edits already exist in the master case.
