The Callout structure consists of an arrow which points to a piece of text, a symbol or an illustration on the document. The arrow is connected to a rectangle text box within which information regarding that point, to which the arrow points, is entered.
The Callout Structure Diagrammatic representation:
Arrow: The Arrow is the first part of the callout structure. It points to the portion of the document for which information is entered within the rectangular textbox.
Connector: The Connector facilitates in the connection between the arrow and the rectangular textbox.
Rectangular Textbox: The rectangular textbox consists of the information regarding the point at the tip of the arrow.
Note:
These three components of the callout structure will not overlap with each other.
The Arrow & the Connector will have a minimum length beyond which these two component length cannot be reduced. Hence, for best viewing experience a minimum limit on callout arm size has been kept according to current zoom level of document.
Immediately, after the callout structure is drawn, the Callout Settings pop-up box appears. On this pop-up box, you can enter information to be viewable inside the rectangular structure. You can enter text within the pop-up box and these will be automatically visible inside the rectangular text box.
Screenshot displaying entered text on the callout settings pop-up which gets automatically updated inside the rectangular structure of the callout:

Click [Delete] button to remove the drawn callout
Click [Ok] button to close the settings drop-down after making any necessary changes.
If by any chance, the size of the text entered exceeds the area of the drawn callout but you click [Ok] button then a message saying “Text entry denied. Reduce size, curtail text or expand area to proceed”.
This means you can reduce the text size, restrict the volume of text entered or expand the size of the callout rectangular area.
After you click the [Ok] button a fully drawn callout becomes visible.
Screenshot below displays a fully drawn callout:
Mobility of the Callout Structure
The Callout structure, both rectangular as well as the arrow portion can be stretched & moved around. The structure shape and arrow length can be changed by moving the white dot, present at the four corners of the rectangle, the connecting point between the rectangle & the arrow as well at the end of the arrow.
The following actions can be performed with the callout structure:
The rectangular box size can be increased or decreased by dragging any of the white dots at any one end of the rectangle outward & inward, respectively.
The white dot present at the end of the arrow can be moved around so that the arrow start point can be changed to the mid-point of any of the four sides of the rectangular box. Also, this dot can be moved outward or inward to increase or decrease the arrow length
The connecting white dot between the rectangular box & the arrow can be moved outward or inward, thereby changing the shape of the arrow. Also, this dot moves along with the white dot present at the end of the arrow.
Tapping & then dragging the rectangular box outward or inward will increase or decrease the arrow length, respectively. Also, the rectangular box can be rotated around the end-point of the arrow.
Callout Panning
The arrow head will point to the same position on the document when the text box is move around. For panning users will have to click inside the rectangular text area/text box and not anywhere within the extended selected area. It may happen that the callout arrow may point to a position which happens to fall within the rectangular text box area of the callout structure. In this case, for enhanced viewing experience, the callout structure may adjust itself; due to which the callout text box may displace itself out of the purview of the arrow head, however the arrow will be pointing to same position as before.
Note: The saving process is not explained separately for this markup as it is similar to that of 'Line markup'.
