How to Make an Annotation in a Group Library
Hello!
Any tips on how to add an annotation to a .pdf in a group library? I'm given the option to search for annotations in a left-hand sidebar, but I can't figure out how to create an annotation that can be seen by the group.
Thanks much for any help.

The web library currently only supports reading annotations, so they can only be added from a Zotero desktop or iOS app.
The messages in the annotation sidebar will make this more clear soon.
I'm the group owner and I'm having issues adding annotations to the PDF files I've added to my group. It's as if the options for doing this are missing. What icon should I be looking for to make this happen? I see an option for searching the annotations, but not an option for creating annotations. Perhaps I'm just missing an icon?
If I make an annotation on a PDF in a group library using the desktop version of Zotero, the annotation is not visible to the group using the web version of Zotero.
Is this the correct functionality? Thank you so much for your insights.
If you make an annotation in the desktop app and sync, you should also see it in the web library version.
