# Annotation

NeuTu allows you to annotate an individual body (body annotation) or add a point annotation at any location. &#x20;

A body annotation is a set of information that describes a body, such as its proofreading status and its neuron name.&#x20;

A point annotation is associated with a unique location. There are several kinds of point annotation:

* Bookmarks: this category is mainly for flagging an interesting location or something that should be examined later.
* Todos: they are similar to bookmarks, but mainly for proofreading purposes as the name suggests. Unlike bookmarks, they are associated with bodies.
* Synapses: synapse annotations, including pre-synaptic (T-Bar) and post-synaptic (PSD) elements.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://janelia-flyem.gitbook.io/neutu/annotation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
