How to Move and Edit Annotation Objects in CrewBox

Every markup stays a live, movable object — nothing is ever stamped flat into the photo.

A selected shape showing its eight edit handles

A selected shape with its eight handles — drag the body to move, the handles to resize.

Select an Object

  1. In the annotation editor, choose the Select tool.
  2. Tap any shape, line, text, or timestamp — handles appear around it.

Move It

  • Drag the object's body to a new position.
  • A magnifier loupe follows your drag so your fingertip never hides the exact placement point.

Resize / Reshape It

  • Drag the handles: corners resize rectangles and circles; endpoints re-aim lines and arrows.
  • Pinch-zoom the canvas (up to 6×) first for fine work — precision beats fat-finger.

Edit Its Look and Content

With the object selected, the contextual controls apply to it:

  • Color — tap a new swatch (guide)
  • Thickness — stroke slider (guide)
  • Arrow mode — for lines
  • Textdouble-tap any text or timestamp to rewrite it (guide)

Delete It

Select → tap the delete control. Just that object goes; the rest stays. (Whole-session mistakes: undo.)

Even After Saving

Reopen Annotate on the photo any time — every object is still individually selectable and editable. That's the point of vector annotations: the markup evolves with the job.
