Google Analytics 4 is a tool to help you see how people use your website. You can add notes to your data to help you remember important events, like when you made changes to your website or ran a special sale. These notes are called annotations.
Steps to add annotations in GA4
Here’s how to add annotations in Google Analytics 4:
- Log in to your GA4 account.

Can you add notes to all pages in GA4?
Not all pages in GA4 allow you to add notes. Check the instructions for your GA4 account to see if you can. If you can’t add notes and you have permission, try logging out and logging back in. If that doesn’t work, ask the Google Analytics team for help.
What if you can’t add notes in GA4?
If you can’t add notes using the steps above, you can use a tool called GA Annotations. This tool lets you add notes to your GA4 pages, even if the built-in notes feature doesn’t work. Get GA Annotations from the Chrome Web Store, log in to your GA4 account, and start adding notes to your data.
