Mac and Windows

You can show, add and edit Notes in the inspector on the right side of the screen. Click the "Notes" button in the Toolbar to open the inspector.
Clicking the Note indicator or the Note tool Add notes opens the Note Inspector as well.

Phones

If a topic already has a note, you can also tap the Note indicator instead.

Tablets and iPads

Tablets and iPads can show both the inspector and the pop-up window. That way you can choose what works best with the space you have.
Select the "Notes" button in the top toolbar to open the Inspector.
To open as a pop-up window, select the topic and use the Note tool Add notes, or simply tap on the Note indicator.
