Syntex annotations has a couple limitations I was wondering about. First, it seems to only work on PDFs and perhaps png, jpg, etc. Any plans to extend to Office documents to annotate without changing the record status? Second, you can use pen and ink but doesn't seem you can use text from a keyboard or do "redaction". Any plans for those features in the future?

Hi Mario! We support annotation on .ai, .dwg, .epub, .pdf, .rtf, and .tif at the moment. We'll add more formats, the team is looking at Office, I don't have a timeline I can announce yet. We're also adding text, first will be using comments and pinning those. Actual graphical text on top of the file is on the backlog. We do plan to add redaction in the future, but don't have a timeline for you, on the backlog as well. Stay tuned to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap site for more announcements here (for instance, news coming soon on PDF merge/split, which isn't annotation, but another viewer-related feature).
