<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 <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Side Pane</gui></guiseq> or press <key>F9</key>.
</p>
<p>
At the top of this side pane, there is a drop-down menu with options like <gui>Thumbnails</gui>, <gui>Index</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>Annotations</gui> from the drop-down menu.
</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>
You should now see <gui>List</gui> and <gui>Add</gui> tabs under the drop-down menu.
</p>
