annotated text

Document with notes

Annotated text is writing that includes explanatory notes, comments, or critical commentary alongside the original content.

The annotations might clarify difficult passages, provide historical context, or offer interpretive guidance: an annotated edition of Shakespeare, annotated bibliography.

Academic and educational materials commonly appear in annotated form to help readers engage more deeply with challenging works.
