Hi. Is there a way to ignore the existing annotations and only export the recently added annotations?

Hi there,

One method would be to delete all the annotations that are inside the document when the document and annotations are loaded. Example in this guide here:

Another method is to pass in a list of only the annotations you want to export, via the options in the exportAnnotations API:
