Data Annotations

Data Annotations module allows users to associate text comments with specific document locations. Hex Editor Neo saves those comments with a document and the next time user opens a document, comments are also loaded and are available for browsing and review.

Each annotation may specify semi-transparent background and outline colors as well as opaque text color.

The Data Annotations Tool Window displays annotations for the current document.

When the user hovers a mouse cursor over the commented cells, the tooltip with a comment is displayed. If Info Pane is visible in an editor window, comment is also displayed in it.

Hex Editor Neo supports several types of storage for a document. The Data Annotations Settings Page may be used to configure the storage location.

The following commands are available for the user:

Annotations » Add Annotation…
Add new annotation. The user specifies the beginning and end of the range to annotate.
Annotations » Edit Annotation
Edit current annotation.
Annotations » Duplicate Annotation
Duplicate one or more selected annotations.
Annotations » Remove Annotation
Remove selected annotation.
Annotations » Annotate Selection…

Annotations » Annotate Cursor…

Annotations » Clear Annotations
