Adding regions and pins

Once an image is added, you can highlight areas using Regions and Pins Region and Pin tools.

Regions can be created by drawing a freeform shape or by dragging a rectangle over an area. Pins can be placed on specific points within the image.

After creating a region or pin, you can add a name and description, change its colour, add a zoomed layer, or delete it using the available options Region and Pin options.

Adding layers

Layers allow you to display additional images linked to a region or pin, creating a zoom effect. For example, you can show a higher magnification view of a selected area.

To add a layer, select the layer icon when editing a region or pin, then upload the new image.
