We currently have the ability to turn off annotations & connecting lines in canvas. I do not always want these annotations because they can make the canvas become too “busy” on a canvas that I’m using on projects where I just want to share the canvas, collaborate, or present. Sometimes people I share the canvas with may not know how to turn these off.  I would like for Canvas to cache or “remember” my choices so the annotations/connecting lines do not have to be turned off each time someone opens the canvas. Default should be to have these turned “on”. I would just like them to stay “off” once I select that choice. Attaching visual examples. I would be happy to answer any clarification questions. Thank you!

Hi ​@Chris Jackson,

We have just released this behavior into the product. Once you turn off the connection lines for your canvas, this preference is kept the next time you open the canvas. 
 

Thank you,
Andreea.

@Andreea Oprea  Can we possibly add the same function to “Annotations”? There are situations where I want these to remain off on a canvas.

@Andreea Oprea  Was the same feature for the annotations toggle implemented? We thought it had but that is not the behavior we are seeing in Canvas today.

Hello,

It’s possible to turn on and off annotations lines.
Please let me know if that’s not the case in your project.

Sorry Andreea, I was talking about the feature that once you turn off the annotations, that preference is kept the next time you open the canvas.
