# Annotate

In addition to adding [**Labels** ](/en/moasure-app/master-edit-tools/edit-label.md)to individual points, you can also place annotations directly on the canvas to provide extra context, highlight specific areas, or document observations. This is useful for marking sections of a playground, identifying hazards, or noting site features that require attention.

Annotations can help make measurements clearer and easier to understand when sharing with colleagues, contractors, or clients.

Annotations can only be added in 2D Fit and Plan views, but display in both 2D and 3D views. They are not currently supported in contour or surface mesh views.
