# Customizing Annotations: Fine-Tune Annotations for Operational Precision

### Annotation Fields

Each annotation includes several editable fields to help describe and locate the point more accurately:

* **Name**: Identify the annotation clearly for your team
* **Description**: Add purpose or notes related to the point of interest
* **Group:** Groups and sub-groups let you keep annotations tied to a region, a mission phase, a piece of equipment, or any other structure that fits your operation.
* **Latitude & Longitude**: View precise placement on the map
* **Altitude (AGL)**: Define the vertical height above ground level for better 3D context

### Icon Selection

You can now choose from a wider set of default icons that visually represent common mission elements (e.g. hazard, fire, alert, etc.).

Additionally, upload your own **custom SVG icons** to match internal symbols or workflows:

1. In the Annotations panel, click on **Icons**

2. Click on **Upload** to select a custom icon (maximum 5 icons allowed)

### Color Palette

Annotations now support an expanded range of color options. Use these to categorize or prioritize annotations based on status, severity, or mission type

### Tips for Customization

* Use color consistently across teams to build familiarity
* Standardize icon sets across projects for easy identification
* Include relevant context in descriptions to reduce back-and-forth during missions

## 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://docs.flytbase.com/in-flight-modules/annotations/customizing-annotations-fine-tune-annotations-for-operational-precision.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.
