<section id="change-default">
 <title>Can I permanently change the default annotation properties?</title>
<p>
   The default annotation properties (author, colour, style and icon) can only be changed on a particular note as stated above. So if you want all icons for your notes to be <gui>red</gui> instead of <gui>yellow</gui>, you will have to change the default from <gui>yellow</gui> to <gui>red</gui> individually on each note.  There is no way to save different default settings for annotation properties, at this time.
