Type your notes into the text box in the sidebar. Presenter notes always appear on the presentation step they were added to.

Presenter notes automatically save as you type and can be edited and viewed by anyone with editing rights to your presentation.
When finished, click the X in the upper right corner of the sidebar to close presenter notes. You will see a little note icon appear next to each presentation step thumbnail where you added presenter notes in the left sidebar.
Deleting presenter notes
To delete your presenter notes, simply go the part of the presentation where you want your notes removed, open Presenter notes from the More menu or from the timeline thumbnail, and delete the note text.
Viewing your notes in Presenter View
To access your notes while presenting or practicing, click the Present button and select Presenter view from the dropdown menu. This will open the presentation in Present view and Presenter view. Present view is the window your audience will see while you’re presenting; it does not include your notes. Make sure to share the right window when using a projector or screen sharing with a video conferencing tool.
Presenter view breaks down your presentation into individual steps with your notes on the side. It also includes a timer that you can reset while practicing. You can increase or reduce the size of your notes to make them easy to read. The arrows on the bottom of Presenter view help you navigate your content.
