# Adding Notes to a Configuration

You can add notes to a configuration to provide additional information about the configuration. Examples of notes are: hand-off instructions, tips, reminders, and known issues.

Tip: You can prevent others from seeing sensitive notes by adding a password to the archive when you save it.

To add a note to a configuration:

1. Read a system.
2. Click the Notes tab.
3. Click Add.

   The note is given a time stamp.

4. Enter a subject, your name, and the note.

   The note is automatically added to the configuration as you type.

5. Click Save to Archive.

   The notes are saved with the configuration.

   Note: Notes that you add to a configuration are lost if you do not save the configuration to an archive.

Tip: If you want to reread from a system, you do not need to re-add notes. Notes that you add prior to rereading a system are retained in memory and will be loaded again.

To add another note, click Add.

To delete a note, highlight the note that you want to delete and then click Delete.

Tip: To delete multiple notes press either Shift or Ctrl, click the notes that you want to delete to highlight them, and then click Delete.
