Difference between a memo and an annotation?

They seem to do the same thing. What's the difference? Wiki guide doesn't say

For text coding, a memo is linked to a coded text segment. An annotation is a memo that is not linked to a coded test segment. There might be times when you analyse coded text that the coded text memo is useful. These memos can be displayed associated with the coded text in a text report. An annotation might be useful for explaining or expressing some wording in more depth - such as expanding an acronym or explaining some slang .

I see, thanks. So annotations have nothing to do with the codes (they are attached directly to the text). Memos can give context to codes, why something was coded a certain way, etc. ok

Yes, that's correct.
