FAQ

Where can I see the Annotations of a Page?

You can check the Annotations of a Page in the "Comments" tab.

Why doesn't Command+M work for annotations on Safari for macOS?

When using Safari on macOS, the shortcut Command+M is in conflict with a native browser / operating system shortcut. For XWiki on macOS, you can use Command+I (capital i) to create annotations instead.
