What is the default save location?

The default save location is a location designated by you to save any document imported into the app from another app or location outside of iAnnotate (email, Airdrop, Adobe, Word, etc.) or documents you create in iAnnotate. 

 

Why do I need a default storage location?

If you do not designate a default save location then iAnnotate cannot save the document (s) you created in iAnnotate or imported into iAnnotate. You can move or copy any document to another location once it is imported if you do not want it to stay in the default storage location. 

 

How do I change or manage my default save location?

You can change your default save location anytime to any location added to iAnnotate. This can be as general as local files for example or detailed such as a folder within a folder within a folder. 

You can quickly access the default save location in the iAnnotate library under the "quick access" category. 

Follow these steps to select or change your default save location: 

  1. Navigate to the iAnnotate library:
