3.7. Notes

Content → Notes

Notes are bits and pieces of text that you can re-use from one portfolio page in another. These are the text boxes that you could not save in versions prior to Mahara 1.5.

3.7.1. View your notes

Though you cannot create notes directly from this page, you can edit your notes. Their content will be changed wherever that note is used.
