Mark Up, Comment, and Collaborate — Right on the Document

Highlight key passages, add notes, draw attention to details with shapes and stamps, and share your annotations with internal teams or external parties via secure links.

Reviewing documents by exchanging emails with vague references like 'see paragraph 3, line 7' is inefficient and error-prone. Dockria's Document Annotations let reviewers mark up documents directly, placing their feedback exactly where it belongs — on the document itself.

The annotation toolkit includes highlighting, text notes, freehand drawing, geometric shapes, customisable stamps, and text insertion. Whether you are a lawyer redlining a contract, an engineer marking up technical drawings, or a compliance officer flagging policy gaps, the right tool is always at your fingertips.

When your review is complete, you can flatten annotations permanently into the document, making them part of the official record. Or keep them as a separate layer that can be shown, hidden, or removed as needed. This flexibility supports both collaborative draft review and final document preparation.

Need feedback from someone outside your organisation? Share annotated documents via secure links with optional password protection. External reviewers can view your annotations and add their own responses without needing a Dockria account, making cross-organisational document review seamless and secure.
