    If the feature class for the selected feature or features contains notes, they appear in the Notes Editor pane and are sorted by attached state and then alphabetically.

    Notes that are attached to the selected feature or all selected features in the selected feature class appear with a checked check box. Notes that are not attached to the selected feature or all selected features in the selected feature class appear with an unchecked check box.

    When working with a feature class, notes that are only attached to some of the selected features in the selected feature class appear with a mixed state check box.

  7. Click the row that contains the note you want to edit and update the text in the text box at the bottom of the Notes Editor pane.
