### Using the notes panel on an image

The notes panel feature allows users to annotate images with ease, enhancing collaboration and communication. This guide provides a step-by-step process for using the notes panel effectively, including adding notes directly on images and understanding the limitations of the feature.

### Accessing the notes panel:

1. **Open the Image**: Navigate to the image you wish to annotate.
2. **Open Notes Panel**: Click on the 'Notes' icon to open the notes panel.

### Adding notes:

- **Standard Notes**:
  - Click on the 'Add Note' button within the panel.
  - Type your note in the provided text field.
  - Click 'Save' to add the note to the panel.
- **Pinned Notes**:
  - Select the 'Pin' icon within the notes panel.
  - Click directly on the image where you want to place the pin.
  - Enter your note in the text field that appears.
  - Click 'Save' to attach the note to the pin.

### Interacting with notes:

- **Highlighting**:
  - Click on a note in the panel to highlight the corresponding pin on the image.
  - Click on a pin on the image to highlight the corresponding note in the panel.

### Locking notes:

- Once an order or re-edit request is submitted, the ability to add or modify pinned notes will be locked.

The notes panel is a powerful tool for annotating images, providing a seamless way to add and manage notes. While it enhances image-based communication, remember that it is not available for video or supported on mobile devices.

### Troubleshooting tips:

- **Notes not saving**: Ensure you click 'Save' after entering your note.
- **Pins not highlighting**: Refresh the page if pins do not highlight when clicked.
- **Locked Notes**: If you cannot add or edit pinned notes, check if an order or re-edit request has been submitted.
