Dreamweaver Design Notes are small files that, in a sense, attach themselves to the Web pages or objects
they concern. A Design Note can be attached to any HTML page, graphic, or media file inserted into a page.
Design Notes follow their corresponding file whenever that file is moved or renamed using the
Dreamweaver Files panel; moreover, a Design Note is deleted if the file to which it is related is deleted.
Design Notes have the same base name as the file to which they are attached??”including that file??™s extension
??”but are designated with an .mno extension. For example, the Design Note for the file index.htm
would be called index.htm.mno; Design Notes are stored in the _notes subfolder, which is not displayed
in the Dreamweaver Files panel.
Design Notes can be entered and viewed through the Design Notes dialog box, shown in Figure 31-4. This
dialog box may optionally be set to appear when a file is opened, thus passing instructions from one team
member to another automatically. In addition to the Design Notes dialog box, you can configure File view
columns to display Design Note information right in the Files panel; the File view columns feature is covered
in the ???Browsing File View Columns??? section.
