Add Notes

You can add notes to objects in the Object Explorer, Database Diagram, and Query Builder. Any notes added in a feature automatically display in any other feature that supports notes. For example, if you add a note to a table in the Database Diagram, the note automatically displays when you view that table in the Object Explorer or Query Builder.
