Create and Edit Annotations

You can add annotations to any row evolution chart showing visits over time. For example, this includes the Overview within the Visitors section, the Goals report, or many others. You can create and edit annotations by following the steps below.

How to create annotations

1. Navigate to a page containing a row evolution chart.
2. While reviewing a row evolution chart, click the annotations icon to load all annotations within the selected date range.
3. Click the text link “Create a new annotation…”
4. Enter a note (and optionally, change the date of the annotation), then click Save to add it.

How to edit and delete annotations

If you’ve made a mistake or your annotations are no longer relevant, it’s easy to edit or delete them. Please note: you must be logged in with the appropriate permissions. If you do not see an edit icon, you don’t have the required access.

To edit an annotation:

1. Click the annotations icon to expand annotations for the selected date range.
2. Click the edit icon next to the annotation you want to edit.
3. Update the date or text as needed.
4. Click Save to confirm.

To delete an annotation:

1. Click the annotations icon to expand annotations for the selected date range.
2. Click the edit icon next to the annotation you’d like to delete.
3. Click the delete icon and the annotation will be removed immediately.

Highlight important annotations

By default, when you add an annotation, a small grey icon appears below the row evolution chart. If you have many annotations, you may want to emphasize significant ones. To do this:

• Click the star icon to highlight the annotation.
• It will be marked with a gold star in the list and shown as a green highlighted icon on the chart.
