Default setting to hide annotations

[patrick_digan]

The canvas has 3 options as demonstrated by exhibit A:

The user settings can change 2 of the 3 defaults as demonstrated in exhibit B. The layout default and connection settings progress can both be defaulted for all new workflows:

Thus, I would propose that a user setting be added to the annotation box so that I can set the default to hide.

Hi @smadariaga ,

Manually flipping off each time we started developing a new workflow seemed a non-issue at first.  As utility and activity has increased, however, it is definitely something that seems to warrant a user-selected default.  Maybe even a shortcut-key to toggle on and off 🙂

in searching how to change the default to hide annotations, I learned that there is no way to change the default annotation settings to hide.  Please like the OP so this stays on the radar!

Y'all are right about this idea, so we will keep it on the radar, , but there are other priorities in the near future. Our product team would like to revisit it when they can better speak on the timeline for this idea!

I find it very annoying that I have to manually hide the annotations every time.
