Is it possible to 'unplace' annotations?

Question

Is it possible to add or return annotations to the Unplaced Annotation list? Is there no way to put an annotation in the list once the annotation is placed?

I have noticed that the Aviation Editing toolbar has the option to hide annotation features, but there does not appear to be a button to add annotations back to the Unplaced Annotation list in the regular editing toolbar.

Using a definition query would be a last resort as there are lots of labels. Creating a layer from selected features and editing those would be a better option, but it would be nice to be able to place and unplace annotations in an editing session.

Answer 1

To return annotation to Unplaced you just simply change the field in attributes. It should have a default domain assigned to it for Placed and Unplaced. When you select Unplaced it will disappear from your map but remain in the feature class.
