Create a Design Note

Design Notes are a great way to manage your site by inserting comments in your document's Site window. Use Design Notes to schedule production work, place follow-ups on files, or to communicate file or site details with team members. Next you'll create a Design Note to follow-up on making a change to one of your site pages.

1	In the Dreamweaver Site Window (Site > Site Files), in the Local Folder pane select DW4_Destinations.html.
2	In the main menu choose File > Design Notes.
	The Design Notes dialog box appears.
3	In the Basic Info tab, in the Status pop-up menu select Needs Attention.
4	Click the calendar icon to add the date in the Notes field.
5	Click in the Notes field, then type Need to create Devil's Tower page and add links to documents.
6	Select the Show When File Is Opened option so the Design Note automatically opens when this page is opened.
7	Click OK to close the dialog box.
	A Design Note icon appears in the Notes column in the Local Folder pane.
8	In the Site Window, select DW4_Destinations.html and open it.
	The document and its associated Design Note opens; you can easily see what actions are required for this file.
