Difference Between the Embedded Annotations and Browser Extension.
The only major difference between embedded annotations and the browser extension is that you no longer have to download and use the zipBoard extension using embedded annotations!
You don't need the extension for PDFs, images, videos, MP3/audio or zipped SCORM/HTML files. To review live websites/URLs or courses hosted online, you still need the zipBoard browser extension.
Currently, you can review content such as PDFs, images, videos, MP3 audio, and zipped SCORM/HTML files using embedded annotations. You do not have to download an extension for this, nor do you have to set this up. This works straight out of the box.
Embedded annotations will not change your workflow or affect any other features. You’re not missing out on any functionality nor does it affect your workflow whatsoever. With the same features as with the extension, you or your client will not experience any limitation or change in task/content management, collaboration features, feedback collection, etc. You get the gist.
To sum it up, embedded annotation is nothing but a more seamless and secure extension-free review experience.
