add annotation features like shapes & tags to Documentation tools

[fnoahbiro]

Would like to use arrows and other shapes for documentation. Moreover, having "anchors" (i.e., like in a wiki) would really facilitate moving about large workflows. I imagine the former is not hard to implement, though uncertain about the latter.

Check out the mock-up workflow for an admittedly bad example.

I agree that adding this capability will allow designers to provide more in depth documentation within their workflows.

The status of this idea has been changed to 'Inactive'. This status indicates that:

1. The idea has not had activity in the form of likes or comments in over a year.

2. The idea has not reached ten likes.

3. The idea is still in the 'New Idea' status. 

However, this doesn't mean your idea won't be implemented! The Community can still like and comment on this idea. With enough renewed interest, this idea can be brought back into the 'New Idea' status. 

Thank you for contributing to the Alteryx Community and the Alteryx Product Idea Boards!

I like this idea which could definitely help with documentation.

[Sfava]

It would be very useful!

[kshepherd]

Agreed! Desperately need this to point comments towards specific workflow areas that I'm creating documentation for.

Yes something like this would be really helpful for documenting pruposes

Giving this a thumbs up in the hope to RE-ACTIVATE this Idea to the Tech Team at Alteryx.
