Once you’ve created a note, you may want to alter its appearance, or change its popup content or title.

##### To change a note's symbol

In many cases you'll want to change the note's symbol from the default. To do so, with the note selected, use the controls in the Appearance tab's Symbols and Location groups to modify the graphic properties of the symbol. An alternative to the Appearance tab is to right-click the note in the Contents window or on the map when you see its title. In the context menu that appears in both cases, select Symbol and choose a symbol from the gallery that appears.

##### To edit a note's location

You can Move or Replace the geometry of a Point, Line, or Area note by using the Edit tools.

Alternatively you can change an existing point note’s geometry by right-clicking it in the Contents window or on the map when you see its title. In the context menu that appears in both cases, select Properties... and then in the Note Properties dialog's Note Location section you can update the location.
