Add notes to a holding

Notes let you attach your own observations and reminders to a holding — your thesis, research, anything worth remembering. They’re visible only to you. By the end of this, you’ll know how to add, edit, and delete them.

Add a note

1. Open the holding’s detail page by clicking its row on your dashboard.
2. Select the Notes tab.
3. Type your note in the Add a note… field.
4. Click Add (or press Enter).

The Add button stays disabled until you’ve entered some text.

View your notes

Each note shows as a card with the note text, a timestamp of when it was last updated, and Edit and Delete buttons. Before you’ve added any, the tab shows No notes yet.

Edit a note

1. Find the note on the Notes tab.
2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon.
3. Change the text inline.
4. Click Save (or press Enter). To discard, click Cancel or press Esc.

Note

Editing a note updates its timestamp to the time of the edit — the card always shows when it was last changed, not when it was created.

Delete a note

1. Find the note you want to remove.
2. Click the Delete (trash) icon.

Caution

Deletion is immediate and permanent — there’s no confirmation step, and deleted notes can’t be recovered. If you’re unsure, edit the note instead.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
The Add button is greyed out	The field is empty — enter some text to enable it.
A note’s timestamp changed	The timestamp shows the last-updated time; it updates each time you edit.
You deleted a note by mistake	Deletion is permanent — you’ll need to re-create it.
Your edit didn’t save	Click Save (or press Enter) to apply; Cancel or Esc discards it.
