Please be aware that when using the snipping the tool, the image that is generated is going to be embedded in the underlying PDF. It will not be stored in the database, as storing raw image data in the database would bloat the file considerably and could potentially lead to performance issues. However, embedded PDF annotations will always be positioned underneath annotations that MobileSheets is drawing on top of the page - there is no way around this, as the PDF page is rendered first, and then annotations are drawn on top. So MobileSheets always puts the pasted snipped image underneath any other annotations so that the user understands how this is going to look when they save their changes. If you need to white out part of the page in combination with using the snipping tool and do not want to use the "Cut" option with the snipping tool, then first create a white square annotation, and then embed that annotation into the page. This will write the write square into the PDF. Now snip and paste, and it will be placed on top of that white square, as both annotations will be in the PDF itself.

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure what you mean by "and then embed that annotation into the page". If I create a white square, then try to paste another object (snip, text, line etc), into the white square, when I click in the white square, MS selects the white square and doesn't offer the Paste option. I'm suspecting your "embed" step is kind of like merging a layer into another in photo editing but I'm not sure if/how this can be done in MS. Can you elaborate please?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...

That might be a nice enhancement Mike.
Once again, I thank you for your great support. I tried what you suggested (although there's no 3-dot menu; I used the Embed Annotations icon instead) and was able to achieve what I needed.
Many thanks,
Barry
