# Use annotations

> Create and manage network annotations in WiFi Signal.

Annotations are custom labels you can assign to particular networks. They can be used, for example, to indicate the location of an access point (e.g., "2nd floor") or to help identify or monitor several networks with the same network name (SSID).

<Note>
  *WiFi Signal* automatically uses annotations defined in [WiFi Explorer](https://www.intuitibits.com/products/wifi-explorer) or [WiFi Explorer Pro 3](https://www.intuitibits.com/products/wifi-explorer-pro). If you create an annotation for a network that already has an annotation defined in *WiFi Explorer* or *WiFi Explorer Pro 3*, then the annotation in *WiFi Signal* is used instead.
</Note>

<Note>
  Annotations created in *WiFi Signal* are not visible in *WiFi Explorer* or *WiFi Explorer Pro 3*.

## Add annotations

You can annotate a network by going to *WiFi Signal*, clicking the *gear* icon, then choosing *Settings* > *Annotations*, and clicking the **+** button to add a new annotation for a given BSSID.

The BSSID field value may include **?** or **\*** to match multiple networks to the same annotation. **?** will match exactly one character, while **\*** will match zero or more characters. For example, an annotation with BSSID `11:22:33:44:55:*` will be displayed for networks with BSSIDs `11:22:33:44:55:66` and `11:22:33:44:55:77`.

## Manage annotations

To manage annotations, go to *WiFi Signal*, click the *gear* icon, then choose *Settings* > *Annotations*. You can add, edit, or delete existing annotations.

You can import or export annotations by clicking the **Action** button and choosing **Import** or **Export**.
