Project: QGIS

Version: 3.20

Feature: Layer notes

QGIS now supports "layer notes", which can be created via the "Add Layer Notes" action in the layer context menu.

These notes are saved per layer, per project. They can be used as a place to store important messages for project users, such as to-do lists, processing or management instructions, or any other arbitrary text-based metadata.

A notepad indicator icon in the layers panel identifies layers that have notes attached. Clicking the notes indicator icon will open the note for editing.

This feature was discussed in QEP-206

These notes may be copied and pasted using the traditional copy/ paste methodology for transferring styles between layers in QGIS.

Layer notes are also supported by and stored within QML (QGIS Style) and QLR (QGIS Later Definition) files.
