Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to WebViewer Support!

If the annotation is set to read-only, it cant be modified. This is the expected behavior.

Here is documentation on read-only mode.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions related to this.

Hi,
Thank you for reply.

Core.annotationManager.enableReadonlyMode() is unlink doesn’t work.
But, Core.Annotations.Annotation.ReadOnly is unlink does work.
https://docs.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.Annotation.html#ReadOnly__anchor

I tried this, can be unlinked.

WebViewer(...)
  .then(instance => {
    const { annotationManager } = instance.Core;

    annotationManager.addEventListener(
      'annotationChanged',
      (
        annotations: Core.Annotations.Annotation[],
        action: string,
        info: Core.AnnotationManager.AnnotationChangedInfoObject
      ): void => {
        annotations.forEach((annot) => (annot.ReadOnly = true));
      });
    });
  });

Best Regards.

Hi,

I have checked with my colleague, and the current behaviour is expected because we’re not actually modifying the annotation. When you link you are just adding a link that references the original annotation. Similarly you are allowed to add a reply to readonly annotations.

Thanks.
