If you have not created any Annotation layers, or none have been shared for your use, then there will  be a message with a link to adding your first layer as shown in the screenshot.

 

This is the same as clicking on the New layer link which simply adds a new Untitlednnn layer where nnn is a sequential number.

If you wish to pick an exiting Annotation layer use the dropdown arrow to select one from the list.

The Show / Hide Layer button  allows you to show or hide the selected Annotation layer.

The Actions button  , when selected, allows you to Delete  the selected layer or access the Properties for the layer. From Version 5.6.2 when you click the Delete button you will be asked to confirm the deletion.
