The tour de France example is the example of making annotations in Highcharts, not Highcharts Cloud. Here is whole instruction how to annotating charts in Cloud: https://www.highcharts.com/blog/product ... ur-charts/.
But the sole reason for using the Cloud is that the people creating the graphs are not tech savvy, which means that coding JavaScript to achieve annotations is really not an option. That means that a developer needs to be involved for every annotation.
Why is there a structure to add annotations under "Advanced" then?
Sorry, this might be a showstopper for using Highcharts, really disappointing. Any changes planned in version 3?
In this thread: https://forum.highcharts.com/highcharts ... le-t41208/ I gave you a link to our Highcharts Roadmap. You can find there info that annotations will be available from the editor in Cloud 3.0 which approximate ETA is the middle of December.
