To create a note:

1. From within a document page that you want to add a note, click on the Bookmark icon found in the ebrary Reader toolbar. Once a bookmark has been created, begin typing in the edit box. This note can be up to 320 characters in length. Once you go to a different page, the previous note will be saved in the Notes tab in the Content frame.

Revert button:

The revert button is used to revert back to a previous note you created, but later changed. For example, you type “Use this reference on page 3”, but then edit that note to say, “Use this reference on page 7”. Afterwards, you decide that the original note “Use this reference on page 3” is more appropriate. You can click on the Revert button and it will change the note back to the original. You must be within the same session for this feature to work.
