Adding requirement and document review notes

When you review a requirement document, you can add review notes to provide feedback about the entire document and individual requirements in the document. For example, add a document review note if a change affects the structure of the document or add a requirement review note to indicate a specific change needed in a requirement.

To add a note to the document, select the document in the requirements tree, click Add Note in the toolbar, and select Review Note.

The Review Note dialog box opens.
