Annotation tool needs to be added to all Rise content types.
Thanks for this thorough list, HVfb0f498d-053b!
Good news on one of these, embedding YouTube videos is actually already supported. When adding media to a step, choose Embed from web from the media options in our Generating a Guide article, that lets you embed videos and other objects hosted online.
On switching off step numbers and adjusting the notes-panel icon size, neither exists today, but both are reasonable to have on record.
On adding colored fill rectangles for annotations, you can already add boxes as part of the Annotate feature, so this is closer than a blank slate. Out of curiosity, are the current boxes missing a fill-color option specifically, or is there something else about them that's not meeting what you need?
On the zoom option triggering even when it's unchecked, this matches a known issue we're tracking, the checkbox can show unchecked while the image still zooms. I'm working on confirming this applies the same way in your specific setup before I give you a firm answer, so I don't want to promise anything yet, but wanted to let you know this isn't just you.
On not being able to select or edit annotation text after saving and returning, and not being able to adjust its size, this is also a known, tracked issue right now, once an annotation is committed, there's currently no way to edit or remove it without starting over on that image. I don't have a fix timeline to share, but this is a confirmed gap, not something you're missing.
On annotations disappearing when you replace the image, I want to check whether that's intentional or something that should carry over, so I don't have an answer yet, but I'll follow up here once I know more.
On an align tool for annotations, and extending the annotation tool to all Rise content types, neither exists today. Both make sense given how much you're already relying on annotation in your workflow.
