That is up to you. Annotator is written so that if there is no ID, it will perform a POST. You must add an "id" field on the server in this case and return the annotation to the client.
If you add an "id" field before you save the annotation, it will be a PUT request. Either way is fine. With a PUT you will ensure that you do not create duplicate annotations when the network is bad and requests are repeated. With POST your server may generate ids that are more efficient for storage, or otherwise serve as better primary keys in your database.
