Revisions Plugin

A plugin for Recogito Studio that adds lightweight revision capabilities to the annotation workflow.

Usage

• Click an existing read-only annotation. The plugin provides a new option: "Make Editable."
• This action creates a clone of the annotation in your current active layer.
• The cloned version is fully editable—you can update tags, edit comments, and add replies.
• The original (read-only) annotation is visually hidden while the clone is active.
  • Deleting the clone will restore the original.
  • Filtering to hide the active layer will also reveal the original.

💡 Tip: This allows users to revise automatically generated annotations (e.g. from NER tools) without losing the original data — ideal for correction workflows and clean TEI export using the TEI Inline Plugin.
