To begin, click on the Settings & Administration gear icon in the top right of your screen. Then, scroll down to find the Event Markers button under the "Other " section. If you cannot see this link, you do not have access to this page and should contact an administrator.

To create a new marker, click Create Event Marker. To edit an existing marker, click the pencil icon next to the marker you'd like to update. To delete an existing marker, click the  trash can icon next to the marker you wish to delete.
