# How to add, assign, and remove annotations?

**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**.&#x20;

Take a look at the example below:



<figure><img src="https://1037371503-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fa3NQDmelveCcQtL0yaFs%2Fuploads%2FoprPGCbwpr1h109uTVQa%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=278f245c-2fa1-4608-a8e5-e43bd3cbf1f3" alt=""><figcaption><p>Annotation example</p></figcaption></figure>



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.&#x20;

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. &#x20;

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.&#x20;

Type the word or find it and click on it in the document viewer. Next up, select the **Done** icon.\
