Open Notes from the module Tools area.

​
What a note belongs to

  • One note belongs to one question and one user.
  • Other students, contributors, and admins do not see it.
  • The note stays with the question when you leave and return.
  • Notes are available only while you have access to the published question’s class.

​
Write and format

The editor supports:
  • bold
  • italic
  • underline
  • bullet lists
  • numbered lists
  • undo and redo
Each note can contain up to 3,000 characters. Links, images, headings, code blocks, and arbitrary HTML are not stored.

​
Saving

Notes save automatically after you stop typing. The footer shows Saving, Saved, Unsaved changes, or Not saved. If saving fails, your current text stays in the editor. Use Retry save after reconnecting. LearnTerms also keeps a local recovery draft for unsaved changes. If the same note changes in another tab or device, choose:
  • Use saved version to load the newer server copy.
  • Keep my version to save the current draft over it.

​
Panel behavior

  • Notes open in the right-side panel.
  • Opening the calculator closes Notes because only one side panel can be open at a time.
  • Desktop restores the last open side panel after a reload.
  • Phones start with the side panel closed so it does not cover the question.

​
Why use notes

  • Record why a distractor was tempting.
  • Save a mnemonic or distinction beside the exact question that prompted it.
  • Write a short correction in your own words after reading the rationale.
  • Preserve reasoning that a flag alone cannot explain.
Keep notes short and question-specific. Use another system for full lecture notes.
