 Biological well plates in the ELN can be annotated on a well-by-well basis by clicking on a well in the well plate diagram, which subsequently opens an individual well annotation window to the right of the plate diagram, as shown in Fig 1.

+In order to improve general performance, individual well annotations are not saved until you click the 'Save Plate' button at the bottom of the well plate creation/editing tools. **So, don't forget to save!**

+Files uploaded, and saved, as part of your individual well annotations will later show up on your plate schematic (after clicking 'Attach data file?' again), as well as under the list of attached files from the general annotations. Depending on the level of data visibility you selected, these files can also show up for access in the LIMS data viewer.
