When creating a new note, or when editing an existing note, the {{man label|New NoteEditor}} editor dialog appears. There are two tabs, the '''Note''' tab, and the '''References''' tab.
==== Note tab ====
The {{man label|Note}} tab is the place for adding notes to People, Sources, etcspace where text is added. The tab allows you to re-sequence notes in the order you want to see them. As on the other tabs, you text can add new (note) records, share existing notes with another object and remove notes from this object. {{Man tip|'Remove' is not the same as 'Delete'|Removing a note record from the Note tab does ''not'' delete the note data from the family tree. It remains present in the Note category view afterwards but is no longer linked with the current objectbe formatted using many standard text editing tools.
''Notes that are not linked to any object in the Tree may be found in the Notes view by searching for a zero count in the "'''Notes with a reference count of <count>'''" [[Filter#How_to_define_custom_filters|Custom filter]] rule.''}}
