Hello, @rchannel
You are welcome to the Docusign Community!
The Notes field is temporary. It only shows up once to the signer see as a Post-it, after signed the document, he/she will not see it anymore.
Now, if you are the Sender then you can go to the envelope, click in the More button, select Form Data, download it as .CSV file, the Note field with its contents will be there.
Let me know if I answered your question, if so, I’d appreciate your Like here, thanks.
Best,
Alexandre
