Erin, I watched your video and very informative. One thing I didn't find in your tutorial is the arrow and line. I can use shapes but not arrow and lines. It simply doesn't stay. For example I am editing a picture and write comments and then want to put arrow to show the location; when i do so arrow shows but the moment move the mouse, it will disappear. However if I use a shape like oval, it stays there. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
