Follow these steps to create an annotation or edit an existing one :

  1.  Navigate to Dashboard > Platform > Message Annotations
       - To create an annotation, click the Add icon. The Add Annotation dialog appears.
       - To edit an annotation, locate the annotation in the list and click the Edit icon to the right of the annotation name.

    You can locate existing annotations by entering search terms in the Search field.

  2. Enter a name for the new annotation or you can edit the name of the existing annotation.
  3. You can create different text and HTML annotations if desired. Note that the text version is applied to text emails and the HTML version is applied to HTML emails. If an HTML version is not defined, then the text version is applied to both text and HTML emails.
      - (Required) In the Text Annotation box, enter the text that you want to add to messages.
      - (Optional) In the HTML box, enter the text that you want to add to the HTML part of a message, if present. You can use HTML style and formatting tags, such as <b>bold text here</b>, but various tags that support scripting are restricted. Use the Preview HTML box to display your formatted HTML.
