20 <title>Adding Annotations</title>
22 An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document. You can add annotations using <app>Evince</app>.
25 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>.
29 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):
32 To create an annotation:
37 Select <gui>Annotations</gui> from the drop-down menu.
42 You should now see <gui>List</gui> and <gui>Add</gui> tabs under the drop-down menu.

70 You can resize the note by clicking and holding the left mouse button on one of the bottom corners of the note, and moving it around.
76 Close the note by clicking on the <gui>x</gui> in the top corner of the note.
