Description

PrivateAnnotations extends Matomo's built-in annotation system by letting users mark any annotation as private. Private annotations are visible only to their author and to super-users — other users (including site admins) cannot view, edit, or delete them.

Features:

• Adds a "Private" checkbox to the annotation create and edit forms
• Private annotations are hidden from all other users in every annotation view
• Annotation counts and starred counts are adjusted so private entries are invisible to others
• A lock icon marks private annotations for their owner

Requirements

• Matomo >= 5.0
• PHP >= 8.1
