Overview of Notes

As you work through your Skills Max course, you may want to highlight passages or make notes about what you've read. In some courses, you can directly highlight text and add notes within the course.

Note: You can create notes for most text in the course content. However, notes are not currently available for exercises, videos, or PDF textbooks.

Your notes can include both text and tags to help organize and locate them later. You can view individual notes within the course or see a list of all your notes on the Notes page. For more details, see The Notes Page.

When a course has the notes feature, you'll see a Notes link at the top of each page and a pencil icon in the lower-right corner.
