About annotations

Use annotations to comment on selected parts of a source or node

Like scribbled notes in the margin, annotations let you record comments, reminders or observations about specific content in a source 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.

If you code source content that contains an annotation—you can see the annotation in the node. For example, if you code text at the node Climate, when you open the node Climate you can see the coded text along with any annotations.
