As the name suggests, the annotation feature is a note of explanation or a comment added to a portion i.e. a text or phrase in your article. Like a sticky note, annotated parts in an article are highlighted yellow. Click on them, and the notes/comments/annotations will appear on the right side of your monitor as you scroll through the story.

The Web Development Writing Contest: Round 2 Finalists Announced!

Thanks for your feedback, @davidmustard. We do share all the rules in [contests’ announcements](https://www.contests.hackernoon.com/). However, we are open to changing the language of  these announcements if our community is not able to understand the rules properly. Can you share which rule or guidelines you couldn’t get in the announcement? I am happy to provide more clarity there.

\
The article you shared <https://hackernoon.com/jwt-and-azure-ad-authentication-how-to-marry-them> is already a qualified submission for the DevOps writing contest because it is given [#devops](https://hackernoon.com/tagged/devops) tag (either by the writer himself or the editorial). One story cannot enter two contests simultaneously.

\
Regarding your question on reads and reading time - There should be right ratio between reads and reading time, and we monitor bot traffic. Hope this helps.
