How to Create Notes

Use the Note tool to add comments or questions to a specific section of a digital title. You can also add a tag to a Note, a time-saving feature when searching a digital code title for a specific comment.

Notes are only visible to you and users with Concurrent access to the library or title.

Creating a Note

The first step is to hover your mouse over the right corner of any code section.

1. You will then see the Section Action Toolbar appear.

1. Click the Add Note, Bookmark, or Highlight icon to open the Note Panel.

1. • A Note can be one of two things: an annotation (applies a highlight, highlight any text in the section to create an annotation or a bookmark which are both accessed from the icon (second icon in Toolbar).
   • An annotation applies to a subset of the section text (which the highlight identifies). A bookmark applies to an entire section. Both appear inline beneath the section under the My notes heading once applied

2. Highlight Note vs Bookmark Note

   • A Note can be one of two things: an annotation (applies a highlight) or a bookmark which is accessed from the same icon (second icon in Toolbar).
   • An annotation applies to a subset of the section text (which the highlight identifies). A bookmark applies to an entire section. Both appear inline beneath the section under the My notes heading once applied
3. Once you’ve opened the Highlight/Note or Bookmark/Note Panel, type a comment, message, or question in the field. Common formatting for note text is available. These tools include strikethrough and underlining (for legislative formatting useful for marking up amendments) and color coding of text. Additionally, importing images or embedding videos into the note body is available.

Adding Tags

You can filter document notes with tags, a handy tool if a file has a long list of comments. Users can add a new tag or choose one from a drop-down menu of existing tags. Apply any color to a tag for easy identification. Use Project Tags to organize notes in any format, such as topics (e.g. Plumbing) or a project address (e.g., 123 Main Street). Once you’ve created your tags, click save.
