Add annotations to specific dates in the top chart

It would be nice to be able to add notes to specific dates in the top graph to make it easier to identify trends in traffic due to events such as site redesign, change of a domain name, a marketing campaign, SEO changes or similar.

If we can make them nice looking and shareable would be the cherry on top. I like something like this that Tim Bennetto often shares

I came here to add this request. We are making constant changes to our website, so it would be great to be able to annotate on days we have made certain changes. Defo

Agree with that too :)

I was checking in documentation and github issues looking for exactly this same feature. A graphic without annotations won’t let users know much about their strategies.

Now that is possible to compare ranges of dates, I think this could be a great addition to Plausible… it’s the only thing I miss from GA.

Yes please! I just tweeted the same

This would be a great feature to have, I don’t need it to share with the public per se. To me it’s more about why that huge traffic spike/drop appeared, so I don’t keep looking up whether it was that paid ad campaign or a post going viral or the server that broke down. I just can hover the annotation.

This was one of my most used feature in GA Universal, and I was sad to see it was not present anymore in GA4. Would love for Plausible to add it!

This would be awesome. I’m often noting down the dates in Notion when I complete website changes or do SEO for clients so I can reference the impact, but it’d be a lot clearer to see little dots or something where I have added notes straight onto the Plausible stats graph. Thanks for working on this Marko!

Annotations are now live! Hover over the date on the top chart where you want to place the annotation, right-click to open the context menu and select “Add note”. Annotations can be personal or shared with your team. More at https://plausible.io/docs/annotations

Amazing! The “Site note” option is grayed out for me despite being on a Growth plan. What am I doing wrong?

Fantastic!

hmm that’s weird. sorry about that @Sylvestre! please do reach out to our customer support so we can see what’s going on. thanks!

Awesome! It does seem like despite the growth plan, I cannot use some of the note features.

@Hosting sorry for the trouble! please reach out to our customer support so we can see what’s going on. thanks!
