View annotated notes in sidebar
Hi, I've recently moved over to Zotero from Mendeley, and am a big fan of many features. But there is one thing that was very easy to do in Mendeley, but I can't figure out how to do in Zotero — even after a little bit of googling / sorting through feeds here — is the (fairly simple) function of viewing your notes in a sidebar. In Mendeley, if you right click and make a note annotation, you can then view all of them (for the document) together, in order, and if you click one it takes you to that part of the document. But when I click the "add note" icon in Zotero, and make a note, I cannot figure out how to find that text again except by manually scrolling through the document and hovering over the notes individually. The "Item Note" sidebar tab remains empty for me — is that something different from the "add note" icon?? — and if I click "add note" there, it sends me to a text editor that is not connected to any particular place in the document. I am sure that I'm just using the wrong process or search terms or something, but this is driving me nuts. Is there no way to add text to specific places in the document (the equivalent to a margin note) and then see all those notes later, where they are still linked to the place in the document? (Sorry if I am describing this poorly.) Can anyone help? Is there a good tutorial or something that I should watch?

(The right pane shows notes. These are just note annotations, one of various kinds of annotations (with more coming in Zotero 7).)
