Deleting annotations from a message flow or node

Typically an annotation on a message flow or node contains temporary information, therefore you can delete it when you no longer need it.

Before you begin

The following instructions assume that you have added an annotation to a message flow or node, as described in Adding annotations to a message flow or node.

Procedure

  • Deleting a single annotation from a message flow
    1. In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow that contains the note that you want to delete.
    2. Right-click the note that you want to delete, then click Delete.
      The note is deleted. If the note was associated with any nodes, those associations are also deleted.
  • Deleting multiple annotations from a message flow
    1. In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow that contains the notes that you want to delete.
    2. Hold down Ctrl, highlight all the notes that you want to delete by clicking them (not on the text), then press Delete.
      The selected notes are deleted. If any of the notes are associated with nodes, those associations are also deleted.
  • Deleting an association between a note and a message flow node
    1. In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow that contains the note association that you want to delete.
    2. Right-click the dotted association line between the note and the node, then click Delete.
      The association is deleted, but the note and node remain.
  • Deleting multiple associations between a note and message flow nodes
    1. In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow that contains the note associations that you want to delete.
    2. Hold down Ctrl, select all the dotted association lines that you want to delete by clicking them, then press Delete.
      The selected associations are deleted, but the notes and nodes remain.
