  2. Click on the thumbnail of the image you want to view.
  3. Click on the Add Annotation button.
  4. A small annotation box will appear. Drag the annotation to the region of the image you want to annotate. You can also resize the box by clicking and dragging the borders of the box.

Uninstalling Image Annotation Plugin

If you edited the items/show page in the public theme, you must also delete that snippet of PhP after you uninstall Image Annotation from the plugins page. If you do not go back and edit items/show, you will find that most of the data does not display on public items/show pages.
