You can annotate your designs to provide reviewers or developers with additional information about them. You can add \e {global annotations} that apply to the whole file or annotate individual components. An annotation consist of an annotation name and one or several comments. The comments have a title, author, and comment text. To add or edit global annotations, right-click in the \uicontrol 2D or \uicontrol Navigator view and select \uicontrol {Edit Annotations}. Global annotations have an additional status property, which enables you to indicate whether you are still working on the design, you have submitted it to review, or it can be considered done. To set the status, select \uicontrol {Add Status}. \image qtquick-annotations.png "Annotation Editor" Annotations are saved in the end of QML files when you save the file. They do not affect the QML performance in any way. \section1 Annotating Components To add annotations to components: \list 1 \li Select the component to annotate in \uicontrol Navigator or in the \uicontrol {2D} view. \li In \uicontrol Properties, select \uicontrol {Add Annotation} to open \uicontrol {Annotation Editor}. \image qtquick-annotation-editor.png "Annotation Editor" \li The \uicontrol {Selected Item} field displays the ID of the component. \li In the the \uicontrol Name field, enter a free-form text that describes the component. \li In the \uicontrol Title field, enter the text to display in the tab for this comment. \li In the \uicontrol Author field, enter the author's name. \li In the \uicontrol Text field, enter the comment text. \li Select \uicontrol OK. \endlist To add more comments about the component, select the \inlineimage icons/plus.png (\uicontrol {Add Comment}) button.
