Notes can be added to the View to allow for visual annotations. A note has no semantic meaning in the ArchiMate language.

A Note can be added from the View's Palette:

The Note Palette entry

The following example shows elements annotated with a Note:

Using a Note in a View

A Note's text, font and fill colour can be edited in the Properties Window.

Double-clicking the Note opens the Properties Window, clicking on a selected Note allows you to directly edit the Note's text.

## Adding a Note Connection

You can draw a connecting line from and to a Note using the "Note Connection" line tool in the Palette. It has no semantic meaning like the other ArchiMate relationship types. Double-clicking the Note Connection opens the Properties Window.
