Text Annotation

The Text Annotation Window is used for annotating text. The top pane of the window shows the text, and the bottom pane is used for editing the annotation of segments.

If you specified the layer as "Annotate Whole Document", then the whole document is treated as a single segment, and you can assign features to this segment using the Coding Pane at the bottom (see details below).

Creating and Modifying Segments

Adding Comments to Segments

The text editing space at the bottom, labelled "Comment" allows you to associate a comment with the annotation of this segment. The comment can be for yourself, to remind you to check something, etc. Or to communicate with other coders of the same project.
