Explains how to annotate a history

Sometimes tags and names are not enough to describe the work done within a history. Galaxy allows you to create history annotations: longer text entries that allow for more formatting options. The formatting of the text is preserved. Later, if you publish or share the history, the annotation will be displayed automatically - allowing you to share additional notes about the analysis. Multiple lines, spaces, and emoji! 😹🏳️‍⚧️🌈 can be used while writing annotations.

To annotate a history:

  1. Click on (Edit) next to the history name. A larger text section will appear displaying any existing annotation or Annotation (optional) if empty.
  2. Add your text. Enter will move the cursor to the next line. (Tabs cannot be entered since the ‘Tab’ button is used to switch between controls on the page - tabs can be pasted in, however).
  3. Click on Save .
  4. To cancel, click the “Cancel” button.
