Here's how to add an annotation to a file in monday.com in Monday

  1. Locate the Item

    First, navigate to your Monday.com board and find the specific item that contains the file you intend to annotate. This item will typically be a row in your board's main table.

  2. Open the File

    Within the selected item's row, locate the "Files" column. Click on the file icon or name in this column to open a detailed preview of the file.

  3. Activate Comment Tool

    Once the file preview is open, look for the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Click the "Comment" button, which typically looks like a speech bubble icon, to activate the annotation tool.

  4. Place Annotation and Type

    Click directly on the area of the file where you want your annotation to appear. A text input field will pop up, allowing you to type your specific comment or feedback.

  5. Save Annotation

    After typing your comment, click the "Update" button within the comment box. This action will save your annotation and attach it to the selected spot on the file.

  6. Verify Annotation

    Confirm that a numbered comment marker now appears on the file at the location you clicked. This indicates your annotation has been successfully added and is visible.
