# ▪️ How can annotations be added to a live recording

Users with Admin, Facilitator, and Faculty roles can add annotations to a recorded simulation during live recording and in the **Video Review** module.


:::warning
***IMPORTANT:*** Annotations are added to learners; therefore, the **Annotation** panel can only be used if learners are *assigned* to a recording.

1. By default, annotations are added to all the members of the Learner group assigned to the recording. To deselect learners, click the **All** button in the ***Selected Users*** panel and click the names to be excluded.

   
:::tip
   Learners can also be deselected or added to an annotation in the Video Review module.

   :::

   
2. To categorize the annotation to be added, click the desired category icon.

   
:::info
   The default category is the first one, and since the category cannot be changed after an added annotation, it should be changed in advance if desired.

   :::

   
3. Type the note intended to be added, then press **Enter**.

   
:::tip
   Already used annotations can be promptly added, as they are listed in a drop-down based on the character combination typed in the ***Add annotation...*** field.

   :::

The added annotation will be listed in the **Annotation** panel with the time when it was added. In the **Video Review** module, the annotations are also indicated with a flag above the timeline.
