While working through a lesson, students often want to jot down a reminder, a key takeaway, or a question to revisit later without leaving the course player. Academy’s Notes feature lets a student take timestamped, per-lesson notes directly from the lesson page, and review them per-lesson or across the whole course at any time.
This is a student-facing, frontend feature — it lives inside the course learning page (the lesson player), not in wp-admin.
Notes is an addon, and ships inactive by default — the Take Note button and Notes tab won’t appear on the lesson page until it’s turned on.
How to access
Reviewing notes
switch This lesson to All course to see every note taken anywhere in the current course, not just the lesson you’re on.
Field breakdown
A student can also select any text inside the lesson content to trigger a quick “Add note” prompt near the selection, which pre-fills the note with the quoted passage — useful for capturing a specific sentence from the lesson text.
Notes and instructors
Notes are private to the student who wrote them — instructors and other students cannot see a given student’s notes. They’re meant purely as a personal study aid tied to the student’s own progress through the course.
