# Styling & grouping
Annotations in Felt can be visually customized to match your design needs and highlight important information. Annotations can be styled individually or in groups.
## Annotation styling
### Styling options
* Select a single annotation, multiple annotations or a group of annotations you want to style
* Use the style controls in the right panel to adjust appearance
| Styling option | Description | Annotation types |

| Width | Set the stroke width in pixels | Routes, Lines and Polygons |
| Stroke style | Choose between a Solid, Dashed or Dotted stroke | Routes, Lines and Polygons |

### Selecting annotations
* You can select annotations by clicking on them. To select multiple annotations at the same time, hold the **`Shift`** key and click while dragging.
* Use the right-click menu to select annotations of same type, color or icon. Very useful for batch-editing!
### Resizing and rotating
Annotations can be resized and rotated. Most annotations can only be resized by pulling from the corner, but you can change the aspect ratio for notes and images by pulling from the side as well.

### Locking annotations
Once you’re done creating and fine-tuning your objects, you can lock them to make sure they aren’t inadvertently moved or modified. Locking will prevent making any changes to an object’s style or properties until it’s unlocked.
* Select the annotations you want to lock
* From the three dot menu choose the option to **`Lock`**
* To unlock choose the option to **`Unlock`**
### Arrange options
To arrange the drawing order between annotations
* Select the annotation you want to rearrange
* Right click and hover **Arrange** to choose the appropriate ordering
## Annotation groups
Annotations are great for adding context to the map, but having too many of them can quickly get hard to manage. Grouping annotations is a useful way to categorize and organize annotations and allow for visibility control in the legend.

### Creating Groups
To assign annotations to a new or existing group:
* Select the ones you want to group and then click on the **`Group`** button.
This also works for multiple annotations selected together, either using **`Shift+Click+Drag`**, the **`Cmd+K`** menu or right-clicking on an annotations, then picking from the **`Select similar...`** options.
### Editing groups & toggling visibility
Groups are visible in the [Sidebar List](/layers/list.md). Simply click the eyeball icon to hide or show a group.
By clicking on a group in the **Sidebar List**, one can select all the contents, change icons for pin annotations inside that group or even update details for many annotations at once.
