Annotation

An Annotation is a block of text that is only visible in Dilato and won’t be sent to your EMR with the note. Think of it as a personal note inside a template.

To make them easy to spot, annotations are highlighted with a yellow background.

It’s similar to applying "bold" or "italic" formatting to text in a document.

Once you start using annotations, you’ll quickly realize how powerful they are, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t use them sooner! 🔥
