<title>Adding annotations</title>
<p>
An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document. You can add annotations using the <app>document viewer</app>.
</p>
<p>
When you open a file, you should have a side pane on the left side of the window. If you do not have a visible side pane, click the <gui>View options</gui> menu in the top right corner and select <gui>Side Panel</gui> or press <key>F9</key> on the keyboard.
</p>
<p>
At the top of this side pane, there is a drop-down menu with options like <gui>Thumbnails</gui>, <gui>Outline</gui> and <gui>Annotations</gui> (some of which may be <em>dimmed</em> for some documents).
</p>
<p>
To create an annotation:
</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Select <gui>Annotate the document</gui> from the title bar.
</p>
<media type="image" src="figures/add-text-annotation.png"/>
<list>
<item>
<p>
You should now see <gui>Add text annotation</gui> and <gui>Add highlight annotation</gui> buttons below the title bar.
</p>
<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/list-add-tabs.png"/>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Click on the first icon to add a text annotation.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Click on the spot in the document window you would like to add the annotation to. Your <em>annotation</em> window will open.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Type your text into the <em>annotation</em> window.
</p>
<note>
