Creating a Text Annotation

Open the lab that you want to edit in the Workbench by clicking on its tile on the Dashboard page.

Follow this procedure to add text annotations to a lab. For other types of annotations, see Adding an Annotation to a Lab. You can also create an annotation by cloning an existing annotation.

Procedure


Select the text annotation tool by clicking the corresponding button in the Workbench toolbar.

The toolbar button for the text annotation tool will be highlighted.

On the Workbench canvas, click the location where you want the text to begin.

An empty text annotation is added to the lab and is selected in the canvas. The Workbench’s side panel shows the annotation’s properties.

In the panel on the right side of the Workbench, enter the text for your annotation in the Text field.

As you type, the annotation in the canvas will be updated to show the text that you entered.

When you are finished, simply click anywhere in the UI outside of the annotation’s Text field.


The annotation is now part of the lab. To modify your new annotation’s appearance, see Editing an Annotation.
