A step-by-step guide **Annotations** refer to all the captured data from a document, which can include text, images, and other visual elements. They help to identify and extract relevant information from the document, which can be used for various purposes such as **data analysis** and **machine learning**. Take a look at the example below:

The **Gross amount** is the field, at 20,11 is the **value.** ### Add a new text annotation In case you want to add a new text annotation, click on the selected text on your document - the **Create new field** window will appear:

Select how you want to **label** your field. Next, check if the **Value** is correct and click the **Create** button. And that's it - your new text annotation should now appear on the extraction list. ### Add a new table annotation Our platform enables you to add not only text but also new **table** annotations. In order to do that select the area you want to assign as a table. The **Create a new field** window will pop up. In the Type area select the **Table** option. Next, choose the field label - **Items table** or **Tax table**, then click the **Create** button. Take a look at the example below:

### Assign a missing annotation If you see that some missing fields appear at the bottom of the extraction list, you can assign selected words to them from the document viewer. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** [Click here](/documentation/user-guide-how-tos/data-points-definition.md#how-to-add-a-custom-field) to learn more about setting the mandatory fields. {% endhint %}

To do that, first, hover over the missing field. On the right, you will see **three dots**. Click on them and choose the **Assign words** option. Type the word or find it and click on it in the document viewer. Next up, select the **Done** icon.

### Remove annotation If you want to remove the selected annotation, hover over the selected field. On the right, you will see **three dots**. Click on them and choose the **Delete** option. Take a look at the example below:

{% hint style="success" %} **Congrats!** You have mastered all the necessary annotation use cases. {% endhint %} #### #### See next:
