This page provides information about the Collaborative Annotations tool.


## **Overview**

---

**Collaborative Annotations** is a tool for adding notes or annotations (we call these **Issues**) to aid project collaboration.

This collaboration tool can only be opened when the Enscape Viewport itself is in focus, and by then pressing the **[C]** key on your keyboard, or by clicking the button in the Enscape Viewport User Interface (UI).



The Enscape Viewport will then adjust to allow the Collaboration panel to display at the left side of the Enscape window.

The Collaboration tool can be used with locally stored projects or in conjunction with [Newforma Konekt ](https://www.newforma.com/newforma-konekt/bim-coordination/)projects (which is a web-based issue tracking platform for BIM co-ordination).

## **Newforma Konekt Source Fields**

---

Working with a **Newforma Konekt Source** is slightly more involved than when working with a Local Source, as there are more fields available in Newforma Konekt.

The first thing you will need to do is make sure you have set up a Newforma Konekt Account and it would be advised to [familiarize yourself with the Newforma Konekt workflow first](https://konekt.help.newforma.com/).

Although Newforma Konekt will work with all the CADs that Enscape supports, if you are using Revit, then Newforma Konekt additionally provide [a free Revit Newforma Konekt plugin](https://www.newforma.com/app_market/autodesk-revit/autodesk-revit-newforma-konekt/).

> ℹ️ Some limitations currently exist in relation to Newforma Konekt fields and not all fields that are available in the Newforma Konekt ‘Hub’ are currently integrated into the Enscape Collaboration tool.
