Annotate images in a form

You can annotate images included inside a form. Annotations offer a visual method for recording information that may be difficult to describe in writing.

For example, by drawing on an image to indicate the location of a lesion in a patient's mouth.

Annotations can be removed if you make a mistake and include options to adjust their size and colour.
