Add notes to a document

Notes attach to selected text in the document. Each note shows a timestamp byline.

1. Open a document and select the text you want to annotate.
2. Choose Add note in the formatting toolbar.
3. Write the note and choose Add note to save it.

Open a note thread to add another note. The composer stays available at the bottom of the thread while earlier notes scroll above it.

Choose Hide notes from the open document’s … menu, or press Command+Shift+N on Mac (Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) with the default shortcut. Hiding notes clears note anchor marks from the page and hides the notes rail; your formatting highlights stay visible.

The Notes chip still works while notes are hidden. Choose it to show notes again and open the notes list. You can also choose Show notes from the same menu.
