Hello Akordians. Today, we're going to be talking about notes. I'm in a private on-chain vault, and if I go over to the plus button over here, I will see the third option is "create note". Click that, and we open the editor.

I'm going to call this "my note." If you know Markdown language, you can go ahead and start using Markdown to style your note. If you don't know Markdown, you can just type out what you want to put into the note, highlight certain parts of the text, and use the icons here to style the text. We have bold, code, strikethrough, headings one to three, bullet, and numbered lists, and we can also link to websites.

Let's try a few more examples to bring that to life. Here is what the code looks like, and let's add in a link. If we type some text and then we want to link that to an actual website, we have the URL in brackets there that we need to add. If we click preview, then we're going to see how that looks styled.

Once you're happy with your note, click "save note." This will save the first version onto the blockchain. There we go—we see the note. If we click the file name, we see it in the media viewer.

If we want to edit the note, then over here on the options menu, we've got "edit note". We're going to open that up and effectively create a new version. Save new version, and in a minute we will see my note with two versions. If I open the note, then this is the latest version with the new version text I added, but I could go back to V1 and there you have it - the original without that extra text at the bottom.

That's notes by Akord. Hopefully, you find this feature useful. If you have any questions on notes, please don't hesitate to drop into the Discord where you can find myself and other members of the team. We're always happy to answer questions. Hopefully, this is useful and you enjoyed the video. Until the next time, take care. Thank you.
