How to use analysis tool

Hello everyone,
to improve, I'm trying to analyze my games when they're finished, but I don't master the analysis tool very well.

I always start with a personal analysis (without Stockfish) but I can't take notes on the moves. It's possible in Study mode, but in Analysis mode I can't find the setting to do it.

Then I run the Stockfish analysis and activate the local evaluation to confirm what I've thought, but I can't find an option to evaluate the shot played: was it the best, what were the other options? Lichess's automatic comments just tell me if it was a mistake, a blunder etc.

How do you do it?
What advice do you have?

Thanks in advance!

Okay I totally misread. I'm not sure what you're trying to do anymore.

You can only write comments in study mode, it's exactly how I use it too. You can also request a server analysis for your study. I usually just do that on the analysis board, so I don't waste server resources.

I'm pretty sure you can't get a blunder/ mistake etc analysis for your variations but the local evaluation is good for that too right?

Maybe you can elaborate? The local analysis gives you the best move in any position so I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

Hello sorry i'm not a native english speaker maybe that's why you don't understand what i meant.

Thanks for the explanation, I'll try to create studies when I want to make a strong review of my games, and stick to the analysis board for quick reviews.

I'm looking for a way to review one specific move, and the analysis would tell me "Not a bad move, but not the best : here are the other options". I'm pretty sure it exists, but I can't find it.

Thanks for your answer and your time

If you set the local engine option "Multiple lines" to more than one it shows up to four alternatives to the best move including continuations, I think that's the closest thing to what you want.

Yeah that's really useful thanks !
