What are Notes?
Notes is a handy feature to help you record your thoughts when watching a course so you can review key insights or questions at a later time. Each note includes a timestamp corresponding to the time during video playback when the note was initially generated. Because each note is timed stamped in this way you can very quickly return to the exact time you took the note by simply clicking on it.
Notes must be tagged to either a particular video or course allowing you to course grain the scope of each note. Notes can only be generated only while watching a course. To access the Note panel, while watching a video select the "Note" tab from the right side bar. If the side bar isn't visible, click the left facing red arrow to reveal it. From the Notes tab, select category the note is for, either "This Video" or "This Course", write your note then press the return key to store it.
