# Labs - Annotate

> Mark up scans in Voyager, then publish or export the annotated image

Annotate lets you mark up scans directly in Voyager, so you can point your team to the exact areas that matter without copying bookmarks into another program. Open it from Labs in any project, call out features with arrows, circles, boxes, or text, then publish the annotated image to the project or export it.

You can annotate projections, inspection planes, and full-resolution slices. Common uses include flagging porosity, voids, or cracks for a teammate, adding notes beside measurements, and preparing images for a report.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Annotate is not currently available on Voyager GovCloud.

## Before you start

For the sharpest result, start from an aligned region of interest (ROI) and a full-resolution slice. To create one, go to the X, Y, or Z view of your ROI and select Promote to Full Resolution in the Attributes Panel. If you are just getting started, an inspection plane, a cardinal plane view, or a projection also works.

Set the color map and attenuation range the way you want the image to look before you bring it into Annotate. If those settings are not right yet, you can adjust them again in the app.

## Accessing the Annotate App

1. Open the project you want to annotate.
2. Select **Labs** in the top right of the toolbar.
3. Select **Annotate** from the list of Labs apps.
4. Choose the image to annotate: a projection, an inspection plane, a full-resolution slice, or a bookmark.

The image opens on the Annotate canvas, and the markup tools are ready.

## Markup tools

Select a tool, then click and drag on the image to place it. Keep callouts short, and pair each shape with a label so the image makes sense on its own when someone opens it later.

* **Arrow:** Point to a specific feature, such as a single pore or a crack.
* **Circle:** Surround a cluster or a round feature.
* **Box:** Frame a rectangular region or a whole section.
* **Text:** Label a callout or add a takeaway, such as "Porosity in thicker sections."

## Publish or export

When the markup is finished, choose how to share it:

* **Publish to Project:** Saves the annotated image to the project so anyone with access can find it in [Reporting](https://support.lumafield.com/voyager/voyager-modes.md#reporting-mode).
* **Export:** Downloads the annotated image as a PNG, ready for a report, an email, or a slide. Exported files use the source name, plus "annotated" and a timestamp, for example `Bookmark-5-annotated-2026-11-11_09-17-10.png`.
