Master Data Services (MDS) is removed in SQL Server 2025 (17.x) Preview. We continue to support MDS in SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and earlier versions.
In Master Data Services, annotations are comments that you enter to provide details about transactions.
You can annotate a transaction to provide information about why an action was taken. You must select a transaction to add a related annotation. Annotations are displayed along with transactions in:
The Explorer functional area of the Master Data Manager web application.
The Version Management functional area of the Master Data Manager web application.
The MDS Add-in for Excel.
