Annotating & Keynoting a Linked File
When working with linked files, typically all general annotation will be done in the linked file’s documentation. The exception to this will be keynotes, as keynotes in a linked file are not picked up in keynote legends in the host file. For the keynote legend to display keynotes for linked elements, please keynote these linked elements in the host file.
For more information on Keynotes.
