What is the best solution for adding notes/comments directly on the page?  
I mean just for internal use, not to be published, to indicate important information to remember.

[Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) doesn’t include an “on page notes” feature — there are notes in the project settings, which can be found by clicking the cog icon in the top right of the window.

You could create a Custom Component, and in the template add an `@if(edit)` statement with a `@dropzone()` inside — you could then drop a Text or Typography component inside that and write your notes there.

Here’s an example project, including a Custom Component called “Edit Mode Only”, doing just that: [elementsapp://downloadDocument/L1a4zSnRNmuY](elementsapp://downloadDocument/L1a4zSnRNmuY)

Note: this will add an additional, albeit empty, `<div>` to the published page.
