NOTE:

Where are diagram notes stored? Diagram notes are stored as part of the diagram's stored views. This layer adds rich representation to the technical correctness of the diagram content generated from the underlying system model. When using notes, if you reset the stored view, you will delete the note along with all other customizations of the diagram representation (sizing, coloring, positioning, diagram options, etc.).
