Hello,
This is expected behavior.
The Image Annotator is currently an internal alpha version. It is not officially released yet, and as such it is not exposed in the LabVIEW Functions Palette nor documented at this stage.
To clarify one important point: the Image Annotator is an individual tool, not a toolkit. Once available, it will appear in the Tools section of LabVIEW, not as a standalone module or toolkit. However, in its current state, it remains an unstable, unfinished alpha, which is why it is intentionally hidden from the LabVIEW UI.
We are still actively testing and refining it, and for that reason we have deliberately not communicated publicly about this tool yet. There is no additional installation step, palette configuration, or manual loading process required on your side at the moment.
A bit more patience is needed. A demo video will be released in the coming days to announce the upcoming arrival of the Image Annotation tool and give a first overview of its capabilities.
The Image Annotator is planned to become available in an upcoming release, around January, once the validation phase is complete.
So what you are seeing is normal, and nothing is missing or misconfigured in your LabVIEW environment.
Best regards,
Youssef
