Note that the Adjust Last Operation menu item in the Edit menu in the main header and the Last button in the toolbar are not related and not functional with this last operator panel. It is an independent element.

Annotations (Legacy) submenu
This group of operators is useful to take notes without changing tool-shelf operators. These notes can be colored in the View tab of the Property Shelf. Each layer is a single color. You can also animate the notes with keyframes, editable in the dopesheet.
Note: These are legacy operators, meaning they are equally available in the Toolshelf as a modal operator.
