To add a note, place your cursor in the text (typically at the end of a sentence or unit of thought). You can use notes for all kinds of reasons, including explaining what edition of a text you used, listing additional citations when there are a lot of sources, or simply providing more information. However, sometimes a note may be helpful to provide some information without adding a digression or interrupting the flow of the argument. After all, the whole point is to cite your source in the body of the text. The MLA Handbook (9th ed.) discourages extensive use of footnotes and endnotes.
