What happens to notes in guides?

The area in the different sections of a guide where one can type notes. Where are these notes saved? How do you then retrieve the notes? Are they searchable? Are they saved somewhere as a "Passage Guide"?

Finally, how do you use them? Do you use them?

Thanks

They are saved in the Guide itself.

When you open a new Guide a line will appear telling you that you have an overlapping Guide saved.

You may also open them from the guides menu.

I use them to contain work notes - how far I've gotten in a section - questions raised that I want to check further on, that sort of stuff. I would use them in a more permanent manner if there was a refresh function that added new sections from the template.

They are saved in the Guide itself.

A note on guide notes: Notes attached to guides are saved to that now saved guide rather than all instances of the guide, or even guides that share a similar reference. In MJ's example (Matthew 5:7-8), if she were to add a note to an element like "Commentaries," and then ran another for only Matthew 5:7 or Matthew 5:8 respectively the notes made would not appear in either. Once the guide is modified (in this case annotated) it becomes "separate" in this way. You need to return to that particular instance of that guide to see the notes.

Additionally, if you ever return to this guide by searching for the same reference the saved guide will appear rather than a fresh one. This means if you decide you don't want to see a bunch of commentaries and you delete them, or even a particular element of the guide, the next time you return to that citation in that guide you'll see the guide as you have modified it.

Thanks Tommy for the clarification.

Thanks MJ for your help and your example uses. I am going to see how I might fit it into my workflow.
