[Solved] - Can we add text to a song like we could in 8.5?

Is there anyway to add text to a CWP file like we were able to do in 8.5? In 8.5 I can choose File/info and a big window pops up where I can add even several paragraphs of text explaining something about the song. I don't need to do this that often, but I sure miss being able to do that in Platinum. Am I missing something or is this a lost feature?

    I use that a lot, so I added Project Info to one of the "tabs" in the Custom Module.

    Not only that but you can put text notes for each track or take lane.

    I like that feature too. How is it done?

    You are welcome. As others have mentioned, there are several places to add text to a project. The track inspector track tab has a text field called description. Each take lane has a text field on the right side of the track header. I have modified the subject to include [Solved].

    Cool! I'm glad I now have all these spots for text to use. Yep you're right, this question is indeed [Solved]
