Annotations can be added to the map to describe its features with labels pointing to a specific location or area of the map.

### Make an Annotation in Studio

To make an annotation in Studio:

1. Click the **Annotation** button on the upper-right corner of Studio.
2. Shift-click on the map or click **\+ New Annotation** to create a new label on the map.
3. Drag-and-drop both the pointer and label to move them independently.
4. Type a label, then configure your annotation.

When you click off the annotation and close the annotation screen, the annotations are no longer editable.

### Copy, Edit, and Delete Labels

To copy a label, you can either click the **Duplicate** button on the annotation panel, or click **Ctrl+C** then **Ctrl+V**.

To edit a label, simply click the **Annotation** button then select any annotation to edit by clicking its label or line on the map. You can also select it in the **Annotations** window on the upper-right corner of Studio.

To delete a label, click the trash can icon when hovering over an annotation item in the **Annotations** window, or click **Backspace**.

### Label Rich Text Editor

When typing a label, you are presented with a rich-text editor above the text box. From here, you are presented with several options.

| Editor Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Font | Change the selected text's font to a number of supported fonts, including Arial, Courier New, Georgia, Graphik Web, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, and Verdana. |
| Font Size | Size of the selection's font in pixels. Font size will remain the same as you zoom in and out of the map, meaning labels should always be legible. |
| Bold | Bolden selected text. |
| Italic | Italicize selected text. |
| Underline | Underline selected text. |
| Font color | Choose from previously used font colors, or click **+** to add a new color to your palette. Applies to selected text. |

### Annotation Options

| Annotation Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Connector | Choose from displaying no connector (with only a label), a line with a closed circle, a line with a pointed arrow, or a line with a scalable open circle (used to represent a specific area rather than a point). |
| Line Width | The width of the connector. This line will scale as you zoom in and out of the map. |
| Line Color | The color of the map. Click to open a color selector. |
