Annotating files for more detail
Add annotations to wireframes and other boards, to share important information with your team.
What is an annotation?
An annotation is a wireframe element which lets you point to a specific part of a board and describe it in more detail with a clear block of text. Perfect for explaining non-visual elements of a wireframe (like interactions), or adding more context.
