Somehow I just created an "annotation" window in TexStudio. I have been using TexStudio for about 4 years and never knew this was possible. I cannot find anything in the online documentation for TexStudio that even mentions the word "annotation". Annotation shows up as an option in the "Window" menu when the pdf window is selected. It seems like this might be a useful feature but I would like to know "how" I created this one window and what properties it might have.
[Tex/LaTex] Annotations in TexStudio

Annotations are a feature of PDF. TeXstudio can display the annotations in a PDF. It does not support editing the PDF (and annotations therein). This would be rather pointless anyway, because the PDF gets recompiled and changes would be lost.
Instead, you can use LaTeX packages like
todonotes
to create annotations.See here for an example.
As an additional feature, TeXstudio can show a list of annotations in an PDF (not shown in the screenshot). This can also be used in a review process.

yourself for later handling. Syncing will work as long as you don't recompile.
