ink annotation tool Optimization?

Peng_XoYa

For example, when writing A, B, C, if you can't write all three letters in a short time, then three comment boxes will be displayed in the left comment bar, as shown in Figure 1, which are A, B, and C, but this is not the result I want. What I want is that the letters ABC need to be in a comment box, as shown in Figure 2.
This happens a lot of times, especially when writing Chinese, or writing a long sentence.
Is it possible to add a button that the user can click when they finish writing a sentence or a word to consolidate several comments into a single comment box?

At the moment, I see that the comment box has a merge function, which doesn't seem to have any effect?

That's from one of your plugins.

Ink annotation merging is planned.

Indeed, it does not have any functionality, and it is not known which plugin is responsible for it. However, there is a similar function on iPadOS, but it does not work! figure bellow.
I really hope there is such a merge function, otherwise it will cause the left comment box is very confusing!

That's because the selected annotation colors are different.

This is a beautiful feature, thank you, so thoughtful! Is it possible to add this function to the desktop?

Yes, it's planned.

Awesome!!!
