Defining the author of an annotation

Markdown version of this page, suitable for AI agents and automation

Starting with Nutrient Web SDK 2018.2, the author of an annotation will be saved under the creatorName property of an annotation. By default, the creatorName for all newly created annotations is set to null.

The creatorName can be set by the Instance#setAnnotationCreatorName function:

instance.setAnnotationCreatorName("Alice");
