Update annotation

PATCH/v1/docs/{docId}/layers/{layerName}/annotations/pages/{pon}/items/{annotKey}v3.0.0-next.9

Update one annotation by key.

Authentication#

Any one of these credentials is accepted.

API token

The deployment's static root credential (CLOUDPDF_API_AUTH_TOKENS), valid on every surface.

Document token

Doc-scoped JWT, valid only on the /v1/docs/{docId} subtree it names, gated by the capability scopes it carries (each operation's x-required-capability).

Document capabilitydoc.annotate.modify

Parameters#

docIdpathstringrequired
layerNamepathstringrequired
ponpathintegerrequired
annotKeypathstringrequired
X-Document-Passwordheaderstring

Base64-encoded password for an encrypted document. Valid only with the API token (403 anywhere else). An encrypted document answers 422 DocPasswordRequired when the header is absent. Viewer doc JWTs use the SDK password-session flow instead.
