How to mark up documents in the Files app

With iOS 11, you can quickly mark up documents all over the system, including in the Files app. Markup allows you to write, draw, and make highlights on your documents just as you'd be able to do on paper. You'll find most if not all of the documents on your iPad in the new Files app, which brings together items from iCloud, Dropbox, and other storage services, along with local files, and puts them in a central location.

Here's how you can go about marking up your documents in the Files app.
