Sticky Tabs let you draw a user's attention to a particular spot on a plan - much like you would use a Post-It® or similar sticky tab on a contract to point to where a party would initial or sign a document.



You access the Sticky Tabs tool on the Home Tab by clicking the “Annotations” drop-down.

When you want to draw a Sticky Tab on your plan, you can select from several pre-configured options, or customize using the "Configure Sticky Tabs" option.

Sticky Tabs dialog box
