# Add a Personal Note

The Personal Notes space in Annoto is 100% yours, to summarize, bookmark and highlight everything you want in the video. Nobody else will be able to view the content of this space.

If you want to add a personal note, all you have to do is start typing in the "**Write a personal note...**" section. The video will be automatically paused  (so you won't miss anything while writing).

{% hint style="info" %}
Just like in the Comments Space, every note  is [time-tagged](/tips/timing-is-everything.md#comments-and-notes-timetag), meaning everything you write always has **context** within the video. Clicking on the time-tag of each comment takes you to the exact moment in the video it refers to.
{% endhint %}

## What else can you do with a note?

### Adding a sentiment

{% hint style="info" %}
Each note can get a sentiment, just like in the [Sentiments in the Comments Space](/comments/add-a-comment.md#adding-a-sentiment)
{% endhint %}

Once your note is ready, simply hit Enter, or click the **send** button (green arrow, as you can see in the image below):

### Multiple lines

If you wish to move to the next line in your note, click Shift + Enter.

### Rich text messages

\
You can format your messages:

**Ordered list** (Type 1.  (or any other number followed by a period) at the beginning of a new line and it will magically transform to an ordered list)

* **Bullet list** (Type \* , -  or +  at the beginning of a new line)

{% hint style="success" %}
**Shift + Enter to create a new line**
{% endhint %}

* **Emojis** (Add smiley faces, hearts, winks etc. by typing their shortcuts and a space after them: `:-)`, `<3` , `;)` or `:p` )
* **Bold -** Type double asterisks for **\*\*Bold text\*\***
* **Italic -** Type underscores for  **\_***Italic Text***\_**
* **Highlight** **-** Type equal signs ==like this== to highlight
* **Blockquote** **-** Type >  at the beginning of a new line

### Adding a video as a note

You can also add videos as your personal notes

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding a video as a note is done the same way as [adding a video as a comment](/tips/making-the-most-of-a-comment.md#add-a-video-as-a-comment)
{% endhint %}

The video will be embedded in your personal notebook, as you can see here:
