Annotate in Excel

With the help of an Excel-Add-In you can manage your data, utilizing the ARC standard, directly in excel, without the necessity to upload it anywhere. The functionality the excel-add-in provides are similar to Swate and the differences will be explained in the different sections of swate. The excel-add-in will soon be published in the official Microsoft Excel-Add-Ins Store.
