Annotations

Annotations let you record comments, reminders or observations about specific content in a file or node.

Annotated content is highlighted in blue and the text of the annotation is displayed in the Annotations tab at the bottom of the window.

Annotation displayed in a pop-up.

1 Annotated content is highlighted in blue. The color will be different if the text is also coded and highlighting is turned on.

2 The annotation is displayed in a popup.

3 Click Speech bubble representing show annotations to display a list of all annotations in the open file. Double-click on an annotation in the list to navigate to the annotated content.
