<title>Adding annotations</title>
<p>
An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document. You can add annotations using <app>Papers</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 style="button">Side pane</gui>
button in the top-left corner, or press the <key>F9</key> key on the keyboard.
</p>
<p>
At the bottom of the side pane, the buttons <gui>Thumbnails</gui>, <gui>Outline</gui>, <gui>Annotations</gui> and <gui>Bookmarks</gui> let you choose what to display in the side pane. (Some options may not be available for some documents).
</p>
<p>
To create an annotation:
</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Select the <gui style="button">Annotate the document</gui> button from the header bar:
</p>
<media type="image" src="figures/add-text-annotation.png" its:translate="no"/>
<list>
<item>
<p>
You should now see <gui style="button">Note text</gui> and <gui style="button">Highlight text</gui> buttons below the header bar.
</p>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Click on the first button to add a text annotation.
</p>
</item>
<item>

</item>
<item>
