How can I create and share a note?
To create a note while in a course reading, video, or other piece of content, highlight a selection of text by dragging your cursor over the desired passage. A toolbar will appear with colored highlight options and the add note icon. Click on the note icon to create a note. Additionally, you may also hover your mouse in the margin to the right of the text and click on the note icon that appears. You can create notes in readings, the Media Viewer next to video transcripts, and other types of content.
While creating your note, there are three sections to fill in: “Add a Title,” the users you are sharing the note with, and “Start a Discussion.” By default, notes are typically shared with all people in your course. To change who your note is shared with, begin by typing the "@" sign followed by the name of the users, list, or group’s name in the "Start a Discussion" field and click on them to share. To remove a person, group, or list, hover over their name in the sharing field, and an “x” will appear. Click the x to remove the mention and make sure to also remove their hyperlinked name in the "Start a Discussion" portion of the note. If no one is listed in the sharing field, the note will be private and only you can access it. Add a title or simply just a message to your note. You may also click the various icons to add images, links to videos, upload files, or even create a whiteboard. Click “Post” to save and post your note.
Can everyone see the note I just made?
You control who is able to see your note. By default, notes are shared with all people in your course. To change who your note is shared with, begin by typing the "@" sign followed by the name of the users, list, or group’s name in the "Start a Discussion" field and click on them to share. To remove a person, group, or list, hover over their name in the sharing field, and an “x” will appear.

How do I delete a note or comment I created?
First, click on your note in the discussion panel to the right of the reading to open your note. While viewing your note, select the three dot menu in the upper corner of your note and click "Delete." Your note will now be deleted and no longer accessible. Please be aware that if there are comments on your note, the comments will remain although your specific note will have been deleted.
To delete a comment on a note, repeat the same steps. You will find a separate option menu on the specific comment itself.
