Hi there,

After disabling automatic linking, you could remove all annotations via deleteAnnotations:  
`annotationManager.deleteAnnotations(annotationManager.getAnnotationsList())`  
and then create the annotations. Then exporting them via exportAnnotations should only show you the annotation you created.

Best regards,  
Kevin Kim
