# Image annotation
## Rationale
The image annotation component allows users to select an image and annotate it. Both the original image users select and the image with the annotation are saved as part of the data.
## Configuration
[\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1\]](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.md) You can change the start stroke color with the following property:
```xml
```
## In Form Builder
To add this component to your form, in the toolbar, in the *Attachments* section, choose *Image annotation*.
## In XForms
When using this component in your own XForms (rather than through Form Builder), you must bind it to an element that is either empty, or contains two elements `` and ``. If the element is empty, the two elements `` and `` are automatically added by the component.
