Column for "PDF has annotations"?

edited May 28, 2022
Yeah, now that I think about it (after the fact) I could have just tagged the items with annotations. But I didn't. So, now I have a bunch of pdfs with annotations that I'd like to go back to but I'm not sure which ones they are.

Is there already a way to see what items have annotations (like with notes)?

Could there be? Or do I just need to remember to tag them?

Thanks!

    Came to the forums for first time to find an answer to this question!! me too me too. I want to filter my lists to show me all papers that have annotations. Or even all papers that have Notes, since I usually extract my annotations right away.

    @lilsuz, to see which items have notes, go to https://www.zotero.org/support/sorting

    The third paragraph:
    By default, Zotero will show columns for the Title, Creators, and Attachments properties in the center pane. You can change which properties are shown by right-clicking on the column headers. Checking field names in the drop-down menu adds them to the items list, and unchecking removes them.
    Notes is listed there.

    I am looking for this too. As we can with "Notes" column, I would love it if the "attachment" icon would have an indicator for "been annotated."

    I have not always made a note from annotations and I have not tagged any that I have annotated in a dump area with 185 papers. Yikes.

    I need help in many ways with my process and this would be a little step in the right direction!

    I have found some help with this by selecting all in the folder and right-click> Create note from annotations.

    The note has title and the annotations below. Better than opening each one for sure.
