The Viewer contains Markup tools that you can use while reviewing designs.
When you click Markup, the viewer area enters the Markup Mode and remains so until you save a markup or cancel. A markup is saved as a comment and it will include a snapshot of your viewpoint to give others the exact context in which you marked up the design. Other Viewer tools are not available within Markup Mode. Before you click markup, use Viewer tools to make sure that you have the desired view of the model or part.

Editing Markups
All mark-up content can be moved and resized using the handles of the markup before you save it. You can also cut, copy, and paste markups, undo and redo actions on them, and delete them. You can edit text within the text boxes too till you save the mark up. Click within the text box and make changes to your text.
When you are done with the marking up and commenting, click Save. A marker is added on the design to point to the markup. Additionally, markups are also saved as a comment. They are identified by a number and are grouped by versions.
Reviewing markups
To view mark-up changes, click Show Markers or open the Comments panel. Hover over a marker or click a comment with a markup to view the markup. The design view will change to the viewpoint at which the markup was added.
