After clicking on save a message box will ask you to make some comments
regarding the annotation. After writing your comment, click on save >. Your
annotation has now been uploaded to the server (you are done!).

After saving your annotation, click on view. Now we can immediately notice that
our annotation has been saved on the standard server. The title of the building is
displayed (red circle). Other servers may take more time to update your data so be
patient.
