Its a buffer that opens up to the side of your main buffer, in which you can record all sorts of stuff, its up to you what you use it for. Then you could just put something like [1] in the file that you are reviewing and a similar [1] in your side-note with whatever comment you'd like to make. Its your choice. To save putting a mark in your main file, you could just use line-numbers, just as an off-the-cuff thought?
