'Index' will display a list of navigable links to the start of each section within your board pack and well as providing a list of manually bookmarked and annotated pages.
'Index' allows you to quickly move between sections/agenda items within the pack.
Whilst in that section you can also look at what you have bookmarked, which also allows you to quickly jump to that page when tapping on it.
And then one over from that you can jump to any annotations you have made again by clicking the desired body of text you have annotated on. It will also inform you of what annotation you have made on that particular body of text.
To annotate your pack, tap on the pen icon (top right of your screen, highlighted below) in order to reveal the annotation tools on the left.
The annotation tools appear on the top left of your screen, as below.
The freehand pen tool will allow you to draw/write freely on each page. (N.B. to exit annotation mode, tap the 'x' on the top right of your screen. This will allow you to move, delete or change the configuration of a note e.g. colour)
Press and hold on the letter 'A' to bring up three options to choose from.

Press and hold on the 'Note' icon to bring up three options to choose from.

Add a note to enter your desired content and edit/alter the note in appearance by colour and by icon.
Transparent text allows you to type directly over your papers with additional options to change the typeface, type size, and colour, as well as alignment.
Signature gives you the ability to apply your signature to your papers, also, you can create a default of your signature if you so desired.
Tap on a blank redundant area within a page and you will be presented with a few of these annotation options (Text Box, Underline, Squiggly line, Strike through, Free hand pen and signature), so you can annotate your document on demand instead of going into the annotation tab.
