# Annotate

In addition to adding [**Labels** ](https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-app/master-edit-tools/edit-label)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.
