Threads is introducing a new feature that gives users more room for creativity when interacting with others’ posts. The app now has a “markup” tool, which allows users to doodle over posts they want to repost. Instagram head Adam Mosserishared the news on Threads.
The markup feature appears when you quote or repost a post. In addition to quoting, it opens an tool where you can add yellow highlights, red arrows, or doodles over a screenshot of the post (the options are pretty basic for now). Adam Mosseri explained that the feature is designed to let you add your own creative touch, and said that more tools are coming soon from Meta.

While this and other similar features that have recently been released may be useful to some, there may be people who are not too keen on others using their original content, especially if someone else is benefiting from it. If you are one of those people, there is a way to control who can quote or republish your content.
You can block reposting and tagging by adjusting the settings in the three-dot menu of your posts. If you spot an unwanted quote, simply tap the menu on that post and select “Remove quote.”

However, to be honest, this won't stop anyone from copying your content entirely – people can still take screenshots or find other ways to copy your work without you being able to do much about it.
