View Annotations in a table
The Annotation Table view (
) contains one row for each annotation present on sequences in the element (figure 16.20). Working in this view, annotations can be added, deleted, or edited, and selected annotations can be exported to a GFF3 format file.
Standard functionality for working with tables can be used, but note that only basic filtering is available.
The focus of this section is functionality of particular interest when working with annotations on sequences.
To open the Annotation Table view from an open element, click the Annotation Table () icon at the bottom of the view.
Alternatively, an element can be opened from the Navigation Area directly to its Annotation Table view by right-clicking on the element's name, and in the menu that opens, choosing Show | Annotation Table ().

In the Side Panel you can show or hide individual annotation types in the table. E.g. if you only wish to see gene annotations, de-select all other annotation types.
Each row in the table is an annotation which is represented with the following information:
- Name
- Type
- Region
- Qualifiers
This information corresponds to the information in the dialog when you edit annotations and add annotations.
The Name, Type, and Region for each annotation can be edited simply by double-clicking, typing the change directly, and pressing Enter.
