Although Design Notes are connected with the file they describe, they are stored separately in a file. Design Notes help you to keep track of file data related with your individual site documents. For example, if you copy a document from one site to another, you can add Design Notes for that document, with the comment that the original document is in the other site folder. In another way, Design Notes can keep track of sensitive information that you can't put inside a document for security reasons. When importing graphics into Dreamweaver, the Design Notes file is automatically copied into your site along with the graphic. Design Notes also can keep track of integration with Fireworks and Flash and allow communication on subjects ranging from the status of the page to marketing tactics.
