3.2 Annotations
When an annotation or note is made by a user in a group,
their iPad sends all its information to the server, which then
distributes the content back to some or all of the other members. The default distribution list can be set at the start
of the user's session. Once an individual iPad receives an
annotation from the server, it updates its copy of the collaborative document and informs the user of the change via
the `chat' box: e.g. User3 has made a note on page 5".
Although the document changes on a user's machine, the
program will not automatically shift focus to the new an-
notation. It allows quick navigation to a new annotation
through clicking on its entry in the `chat' box. As with traditional chat clients, a record is kept of each new entry in a
scrollable list until the session ends.
