Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying annotations associated with an electronic document. One system includes an electronic computing device with an electronic processor configured to display a user interface on a display device. The user interface includes a canvas displaying a first subset of content included in the electronic document and a region scrollable independent from the canvas. The electronic processor is also configured to display a first plurality of annotations in the region. Each of the first plurality of annotations are associated with an anchor within the first subset of the content and displayed spaced within the region in at least one dimension based on spacing of the associated anchors. The electronic processor is further configured to change the region to display a second plurality of annotations in the region in response to changing the canvas to display a second subset of the content included in the electronic document.
