7. Automatic Callouts

After you've published sheets, the system will check the content of those sheets for any sheet number callouts which match other sheets in the project. If the sheet numbers match, the callouts will be automatically converted to a link which enables you to click and jump to the referenced sheet.

You can also edit autocallouts with the same options as manually created markups.
