How to share markup and annotations in 10 popular productivity, communication and content tools?

Now that you’ve got your file marked up, the final step is sharing that with colleagues, friends and associates. Of course you can easily just paste the markup into an email or text message, and that may be sufficient for many people. But pasting the image into email or SMS may not be sufficient and lots of us are using various productivity tools like Slack or Evernote so let’s look at the various ways share markup in many of the productivity tools you use every day.

Pasting vs. Sending Link

Sharing a file with markup can generally be done in two ways:

1. Pasting Image - This is the quick and easy way to share a markup. You just copy and paste into just about any tool (email, sms, slack, Evernote, etc.) and bam, shared. This is a good option if you don’t have a need to edit or change the markup and have it update automatically for the user you shared with. It’s also good if the person you shared with doesn’t need to append markup to yours.
   ​
2. Sending Link - This is also pretty quick and easy, but requires the person you shared with to click the link to see the markup on the web. No login or account creation is needed, but it’s one extra step. The benefits however are that your markup is updated in real time. With this approach, when a user clicks on the shared link, they are going to always see the latest and greatest version of your markup. Additionally, permissions can be set to allow people to edit and append your markup or duplicate and make their own edits and shares.
