Q: I am unable to edit note content, how can I fix this?

A: There are several reasons why you may not be able to edit note content. In this article we will go through the many reasons that this can occur and what can be done to resolve it.

Permission Issue

The most common reason is that you don't have the appropriate permission for the project you'd like to work on. Even if you are a system administrator, you would still need permission for the individual project. In order to resolve this, you would need to get an administrator on the project to go through the following steps:

1. Find and select the 'Team' button on the top right hand corner of the project
   
2. Select 'Add to Team'
   
3. Type the name of the person you wish to add to the team and then select 'Add to Team' again
   
   
   
   
4. You will then need to be given the appropriate level of permission to edit notes, this would either be 'Contribute' or 'Administer'
