Need some help on process of note taking

Dennis.Po

I have a PDF open in the middle section. I find a few lines I like, I'd like to use this in my word doc or mark it for later use.
I highlight it in green. It then shows up on the left column. On that part, I can add comment, tags and highlight text and edit the text. Which is great.
The issue I have is I can't see that unless I'm IN the document. How do I convert that to a note, standalone or other that I can change the title and see it in the center column with all the other articles. Like an annotation?

To add one or more annotations to a new (child) note, create the new note first in the right pane (same as if you were going to type a new note). Then use right-click Add to Note on the annotation itself (or drag it onto the note).
