1. To begin taking notes in Zotero, choose the item within your library that you want a note associated with by clicking on it in the center pane. Next, go to the right-hand pane and click the "notes" tab, then click "add."

2. Simply begin typing in the text editor that opens up. Your note will be automatically saved as an attachment beneath the item (article, book, etc...) as you are typing. Note: you can edit the note in a separate window. Doing so provides you with more flexibility while taking notes.
