Answers.Text: Thanks, I missed that it was showing underneath the Updated at: I was looking in the changes box. I had been looking for a way to leave a permanent note about how the Summary field should be formatted.

Answers.Text: Without using a plugin, I don't believe there is a way to leave permanent messages. Maybe you could include this info in the instructions for the summary field? That's what I do for my projects.

Answers.Text: Thanks, my problem is that this is just for one entry in a section with many other entries. I may need to create a new section (perhaps make it a single) just for this. It's part of other general information entries but the summary is used to populate a few pop-up explainers. I didn't want to duplicate it or hard code it into the template and then have one version updated and not the other.

  For my answer I am going to assume you are running Craft 3.
  
  Notes are displayed in the sidebar:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/zsStU.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/zsStU.jpg)
  
  When viewing the "Current" version of an entry, you can see the notes in the sidebar from when that entry was **last saved**.
  
  If you go back through the version history of an entry, the notes in the sidebar will change to the notes left from the **previous version of that entry**.
  
  You can also add notes to a draft version of an entry:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/Qtwbi.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/Qtwbi.jpg)
  
  Once the draft has been published, the draft version will now become the "Current" version, and the notes from the draft should show in the sidebar.
