Who can do this?
👤 These options are available for Students and Teachers.
👤 These are free features; users on any Kami plan can use these tools.
Remember, Students can remove annotations made with Kami tools, and cannot erase other users' annotations. Teachers can delete other users' annotations if they are the owner of the document.
There are several ways to delete or erase annotations in your Kami document, whether you need to delete individual annotations, specific types, or all of them at once.
Deleting annotations
Click the Select tool in your toolbar.
Hover over or click the annotation to see a toolbar with controls.
Click the trash icon to delete.
To delete a Text Box, click the orange X (delete) button in the upper left corner.
Deleting a collaborator’s annotations
Teachers can delete student annotations if they are the file owner. To delete collaborators’ annotations:
Click the Select tool in your toolbar.
Hover over or click the annotation.
On the toolbar that appears, click the trash icon.
In the Confirm Annotation Deletion pop-up, click Delete.
Deleting a group of annotations
Click the Select tool in your toolbar, then choose Select Annotations.
Click and drag to select the group of annotations.
A toolbar will appear below your menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the delete button to remove.
Delete all annotations
The Delete all annotations option will give you a clear canvas across all of the pages in your document.
Go to Menu in the menu bar.
Select Delete all annotations in the Menu dropdown.
A pop-up window will open, where you can select Delete My Annotations.
📝 If you are a teacher who is the owner of the document, the pop-up window will state this and give you the option to Delete All Annotations, in addition to the Delete My Annotations option.
Erase shapes and drawings only
Select the Eraser in your toolbar.
To only erase Drawings, select Drawings and Shapes.
Click and hold to start erasing.
Erase all annotations
Select the Eraser in your toolbar.
To erase any annotation, select All annotations.
Click and hold to start erasing.
Undo and Redo buttons
You can use the Undo and Redo buttons in your menu bar at the top of the Kami screen to reverse actions.
📝 You also have the option to use keyboard shortcuts for undo and redo.
Press CTRL + Z for Windows users, or Command + Z for Mac users.
Handwriting (Drawing) is grouped in Kami
Two seconds after you use the drawing tool, Kami automatically groups your drawing/pen strokes together. If you wish to draw pieces that are not grouped together (so they can be deleted as separate annotations), wait 2 seconds and then draw another stroke; it will not group with the previous drawing.
Otherwise, to stop automatic grouping, immediately switch to the select tool.
