Has anyone set up annotation on Omeka S? I have been successful using
Mirador but only the annotator can see their own annotations. I have yet to
see instructions on how to make annotations viewable by all. The type that
allows for a shape to be drawn on an area where you want to annotate. I
presume it requires some sort of server logging so it's not only in one's
personal browser. I have posted to the Omeka Forum but no detailed
implementation response yet.
Thanks,
Nicole
