+# **core/annotations**: Annotations
+
+## Selectors
+
+### __experimentalGetAnnotationsForBlock
+
+Returns the annotations for a specific client ID.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * state: Editor state.
+ * clientId: The ID of the block to get the annotations for.
+
+### __experimentalGetAnnotationsForRichText
+
+Returns the annotations that apply to the given RichText instance.
+
+Both a blockClientId and a richTextIdentifier are required. This is because
+a block might have multiple `RichText` components. This does mean that every
+block needs to implement annotations itself.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * state: Editor state.
+ * blockClientId: The client ID for the block.
+ * richTextIdentifier: Unique identifier that identifies the given RichText.
+
+*Returns*
+
+All the annotations relevant for the `RichText`.
+
+### __experimentalGetAnnotations
+
+Returns all annotations in the editor state.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * state: Editor state.
+
+*Returns*
+
+All annotations currently applied.
+
+## Actions
+
+### __experimentalAddAnnotation
+
+Adds an annotation to a block.
+
+The `block` attribute refers to a block ID that needs to be annotated.
+`isBlockAnnotation` controls whether or not the annotation is a block
+annotation. The `source` is the source of the annotation, this will be used
+to identity groups of annotations.
+
+The `range` property is only relevant if the selector is 'range'.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * annotation: The annotation to add.
+ * blockClientId: The blockClientId to add the annotation to.
+ * richTextIdentifier: Identifier for the RichText instance the annotation applies to.
+ * range: The range at which to apply this annotation.
+ * range.start: The offset where the annotation should start.
+ * range.end: The offset where the annotation should end.
+ * string: [selector="range"] The way to apply this annotation.
+ * string: [source="default"] The source that added the annotation.
+ * string: [id=uuid()]        The ID the annotation should have.
+                                   Generates a UUID by default.
+
+### __experimentalRemoveAnnotation
+
+Removes an annotation with a specific ID.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * annotationId: The annotation to remove.
+
+### __experimentalRemoveAnnotationsBySource
+
+Removes all annotations of a specific source.
+
+*Parameters*
+
+ * source: The source to remove.

+# Annotations
+
+**Note: This API is experimental, that means it is subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version.**
+
+Annotations are a way to highlight a specific piece in a Gutenberg post. Examples of this include commenting on a piece of text and spellchecking. Both can use the annotations API to mark a piece of text.
+
+## API
+
+To see the API for yourself the easiest way is to have a block that is at least 200 characters long without formatting and putting the following in the console:
+
+```js
+wp.data.dispatch( 'core/annotations' ).addAnnotation( {
+	source: "my-annotations-plugin",
+	blockClientId: wp.data.select( 'core/editor' ).getBlockOrder()[0],
+	richTextIdentifier: "content",
+	range: {
+		start: 50,
+		end: 100,
+	},
+} );
+```
+
+The start and the end of the range should be calculated based only on the text of the relevant `RichText`. For example, in the following HTML position 0 will refer to the position before the capital S:
+
+```html
+<strong>Strong text</strong>
+```
+
+To help with determining the correct positions, the `wp.richText.create` method can be used. This will split a piece of HTML into text and formats.
+
+All available properties can be found in the API documentation of the `addAnnotation` action. 
+
+## Block annotation
+
+It is also possible to annotate a block completely. In that case just provide the `selector` property and set it to `block`. The default `selector` is `range`, which can be used for text annotation.
+
+```js
+wp.data.dispatch( 'core/annotations' ).addAnnotation( {
+	source: "my-annotations-plugin",
+	blockClientId: wp.data.select( 'core/editor' ).getBlockOrder()[0],
+	selector: "block",
+} );
+```
+
+This doesn't provide any styling out of the box, so you have to provide some CSS to make sure your annotation is shown:
+
+```css
+.is-annotated-by-my-annotations-plugin {
+	outline: 1px solid black;
+}
+```
+
+## Text annotation
+
+The text annotation is controlled by the `start` and `end` properties. Simple `start` and `end` properties don't work for HTML, so these properties are assumed to be offsets within the `rich-text` internal structure. For simplicity you can think about this as if all HTML would be stripped out and then you calculate the `start` and the `end` of the annotation.

+
+_This package assumes that your code will run in an **ES2015+** environment. If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for ES2015+ such as lower versions of IE then using [core-js](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js) or [@babel/polyfill](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-polyfill) will add support for these methods. Learn more about it in [Babel docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/caveats)._
