Annotations

Annotations allow you to highlight significant dates and provide insights into events detected by DXA that include a timeline, such as those displayed in Discover Pages (New) and Discover Segments (New). The date is highlighted as a vertical dotted red line, as in the example below from Discover Segments. Hover over the dotted red line to see the annotation.
