.. admonition:: Install the Notes Application

   In order for the Notes Application to work, it must be installed on your Open edX instance.
   Please contact your site administrator to enable the `Notes Tutor Plugin <https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-notes>`_.

The notes application can be optionally enabled to allow learners to easily create organized
text notes for any text, problem, or video transcript content within a course. These notes are
then centrally stored for review in the Notes area of the course

To disable or enable the Notes application, follow these steps.

#. In Studio, from the **Content** menu select **Pages & Resources**.

#. Click the gear icon on the **Notes** card shown on this page.

#. From the **Configure notes** modal, select the toggle to enable or disable the notes application.
