I have been able to add annotation support in a Box Content Preview, which I display in a frame in my app, I can select text or a region and post a comment on the selection. When opening the file again I can see the text and region selections, but I can't see the comments. Is there an option to display File Activity in the Box Content Preview? This is where you would see the comments within box.com.
Question
Show annotations in Box Content Preview
Hi Hans,
Welcome to Box Community!
According to the article "Box Annotations enables you to mark up almost any file with your comments, without using another application, on the Box Web platform. Simply open a document in Box Preview. From there you can highlight passages of text or place a border around any portion of that document, and then add a corresponding question or comment. Box records all your comments in the right-hand File Activity pane (BubbleIcon.png), including the name of the commenter, the time of the comment, and the page number of the annotated section.
The next time someone opens the document, they can view all existing comments in the File Activity pane. They can also add their own comments. And if they click the page number in a comment, Box immediately jumps to the page where you made your annotation."
