Adding Annotations to References (Add-in)

An annotation is a note of explanation added immediately after a reference on your Reference Page.

How to annotate a PERRLA reference

Once you've added a reference using PERRLA, you can add an annotation by following these steps:

1. Go to the PERRLA ribbon tab. 
2. Click References & Citations. 
3. Hover over the reference you'd like to annotate.
   You'll see the More options icon – three dots – appear on the right.
4. Click the More options icon. 
5. Select Add Annotation. 

PERRLA will insert 'Type Your Annotation Here' beneath the reference. Replace it with your annotation text and PERRLA will automatically ensure it's in the proper format.

How to annotate a manually created reference

You can also annotate any reference added to your paper manually – one not created using PERRLA.

1. Place your cursor at the end of the reference to be annotated. 
2. Press Return or Enter. 
3. Click Text & Heading Style in the PERRLA ribbon. 
4. Select Annotation from the dropdown menu. 

PERRLA will update the text style to the proper annotation format. You're now ready to type your annotation.
