You can save the changes by tapping the disk icon that appears in the bottom bar of the screen after you annotate the file. Follow the prompts to save changes. The Save File window appears with the options for saving:
- Save File as a New Version. The file name remains the same but a new version number is added to the content card.

After saving, you can close the document by tapping the X in the tab, or tap Back to return to the content screen where you last accessed content.
Flatten Annotations for PDF FilesThe annotations that you add in the PDF file might not appear when the file is opened in a file viewer outside of the Workspace ONE apps. For the annotations to appear, you must flatten the annotations.
To flatten the annotations, toggle the Flatten Annotation setting in the Save File window that appears while saving the file. The flattened annotations appear in the PDF but can no longer be edited or removed.
Document Scan with Border Detection
You can scan a document and capture its image with precise borders using the automatic border detection functionality available on your Content app. This functionality helps avoid extra margins or dark borders on the image, thereby enhancing the image quality. You can also manually adjust and crop the document borders.
To begin the scan, tap the '+' icon and select the Scan Document option. You can save the captured image either as an image file or as a PDF.
Download Multiple Documtents
Workspace ONE Content supports the parallel downloads feature. This feature allows you to download multiple documents at the same time, which reduces download time when downloading many documents. You can also pause and resume downloads individually or in bulk.
