<title>Adding annotations</title>
<p>
  An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document.  You can add annotations using Atril.
</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 style="menuitem">View</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Sidepane</gui></guiseq>
  or press the <key>F9</key> key on the keyboard.
</p>

<p>
 At the top of the side pane, the items in the drop-down list <gui>Thumbnails</gui>, <gui>Index</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 <gui style="button">Annotations</gui> from the drop-down list:

  </p>
 </item>

  </p>
