Working With Notes
Protege-Frames allows you add a note to the Editor for any frame; that is, a class, instance, or slot. These notes, which are not part of the ontology structure, float over the Editor for that frame.
The buttons for working with a note are located at the top right of the Editor. This picture shows them in the Class Editor:
These buttons allow you to add, delete, display, or hide a note.
Adding a Note

icon
