Applying an annotation stereotype to a comment

To apply an annotation stereotype to a comment

1. Create a UML Comment containing whatever text you like.

   

   Anchoring

   You may wish to anchor your comment to any element in your model, but that is completely up to you. The rest of instructions apply regardless of anchoring.

2. Double-click the Comment to open its specification window.
3. In the specification window, click the three dots at the end of the Applied Stereotype field. A shortcut menu appears. 
4. Start typing Annotation to search for the annotation stereotypes. You will see three stereotypes appear: Annotation, Literal Annotation, and IRI Annotation.
5. Select whichever stereotype you wish. 
6. Click Apply.
7. Click Close. 

AnnotationProperty

Notice that you cannot apply an AnnotationProperty stereotype to the comment. If you would like to read about AnnotationProperty stereotype, refer to Specifying the annotation property stereotype to a property.
