In Render, Notes are the way that you can communicate to other people that are a part of your translation workflow—your team of peer checkers and the consultant. Back translators can also make notes to the consultant.

Whenever you make a note on a draft, it will go to the next person in your workflow for review. 

Anytime you see the headphones button, you can record a note right in your draft. 

First, move your scrubber to the spot in your audio where you want to make a note (1). If you have received a note from someone, you can also click on their note to respond (2)

After clicking in the audio where you want to make a note, click on the Note button:

A note popup will appear.  You can add a text note or an audio note or both.
