Slice-to-Slice Annotation Duplication

Slice-to-slice annotation duplication functionality allows you to copy and paste annotations within a single frame to other frames. This functionality supports both individual and multiple annotation selections and is accessible via right-click context menus and keyboard shortcuts.

Review the slice-to-slice annotations duplication video for an overview

Copying Annotations

Users can copy annotations using the following methods:

Single Annotation Copy:

1. Click on an annotation to select it.
2. Right-click on the selected annotation and choose "Copy" from the context menu.
3. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) + c.

Multiple Annotation Copy:

1. Shift-Click Selection:
   1. You can select multiple annotations by holding down the shift key and clicking on each desired annotation.
2. Select All:
   1. You can select all annotations on a particular slice by using the keyboard shortcut Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) + a.
   2. Alternatively use "Select All" from the context menu to select all annotations on a slice.
3. Once multiple annotations are selected, those can be copied by choosing “Copy” from the context menu or using keyboard shortcut (Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) + c).

Pasting Annotations

You can paste copied annotations using the following methods:

Right-Click Paste (on one frame):

1. Navigate to the target frame where the annotations are to be pasted.
2. Right-click on the viewport and choose "Paste" from the context menu.

Right-Click Paste (to all frames in the series):

1. Right-click on the viewport on any frame and choose "Paste" from the context menu.

Keyboard Shortcut Paste (one one frame):

1. Navigate to the target frame.
2. Use the keyboard shortcut Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) + v.

Keyboard Shortcut Paste (to all frames in the series):

1. On any frame, use the keyboard shortcut Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) + Shift + v to paste the copied annotations to all frames in the series.

Additional Notes

1. Undo/Redo functionality works on a per-paste basis.
   1. Example: All the annotations pasted on a single paste operation will be removed by a single "Undo".
2. Performing a new copy action will automatically override any previously copied Annotations. Only the most recently copied selection will be available for pasting.
3. Selection and copying are restricted to annotations within a single slice at a time.
4. Annotations cannot be copied to a different series.
