# Annotating Designs

You can submit your designs to review or further development as QML files. You can annotate your designs to provide reviewers or developers with additional information about them. An annotation consist of an annotation name and one or several comments. The comments have a title, author, and comment text.

Annotations are saved in the end of QML files when you save the file. They do not affect the QML performance in any way.

To view annotations, select the annotation icon.

To edit annotations, select Edit Annotation in the context menu of the annotation icon.
