Add and manage topology notes

Add a useful note to an empty part of the topology canvas. Cancel an edit with Escape, update the text, choose a color and drag the note to a clear place. Reopen the lab to see its saved text, color and position. Use Show annotations to hide and show notes without removing them. Review the deletion confirmation, cancel to keep the note, then remove it while leaving the router intact. The walkthrough uses a single simulated router.
