Modifying Existing Annotations

When annotations are initially created by the application, the application will be using the "Element" functions. After the annotations are created by the user or the application, the application can change annotations by using the "Prg" functions. As there are many ways of changing an existing annotation, there are sub pages to this grouping to help you focus your needs.
