Question:

How to Annotate Audio Files in Vault PromoMats and Medical?

Answer:

Annotate functionality is not available for Audio Files in PromoMats. Therefore, the View Annotations button is not visible.

A user can annotate an audio file by placing comments in the document-level comment area. 

Annotate permission is needed to place document-level comments in an audio file document.

In order to annotate an audio file, a user can play the audio file and place a document-level comment during audio playback. Vault automatically inserts a timestamp in the comment field.

When the audio is paused or not playing, you can enter a timestamp manually using the format @MM:SS (@00:32) or @HH:MM:SS (@01:02:32). These timestamps become links that skip to the specific time in the audio file.
