how does notes work during a game?

I would like to leave my self notes in my games that only I can read. I tried to leave my self a note, but when I came back it was gone. How do I save it so I can read it later on? Or is that not how notes are mentioned to be used?

just open note book before you make your move then type in your note make a move and it will be their next time you go to that board..it works well ,i use it all the time,,,,,

..or in a game where it is not your turn to move, you can also click on notebook, write a little story and you can click on "Save notebook changes".. does the job too.

Thanks a lot for the help everyone
