All properties sheets contain three tabs:
- Basic: Which controls the Content of the Activity.
- Advanced: Which controls the Behaviour of the Activity.
- Instructions: Provides information on the structure of the activity.
Basic Tab

 View of the Notebook Authoring Basic tab.

The Basic Tab for the Notebook Activity allows you to specify a title for the activity, and give learners a set of instructions for completing the activity:
- Title: All Activities have a web page title which is presented at the top of the activity page when displayed in the Learning Environment. This is NOT the same title as the Title that can be set using the Properties Inspector.
- *Instructions:*All Activities have a text area that is presented beneath the title. This is where the main activity text to be displayed to learners is entered. The text can be formatted using the Rich-Text Editor. Image, Video, Audio and URL content can also be displayed in the Instructions area.
- Specific Features: The Notebook activity has no specific features on the Basic tab.

While the Notebook has similar properties to the Noticeboard, it is important not to confuse the two. A Notebook allows you to pose a question to Learners and have them respond in Private, while a Noticeboard only allows you to provide content to Learners.
Advanced Tab

 View of the Notebook Authoring Advanced tab.

- Lock When Finished: This option is available on all Activities.
- Enabling this option in Notebook means that the Learner will be unable to change their response to the Notebook question once they have clicked Finish.
- If this option is disabled, Learner's will be able to revisit the Notebook activity using the Progress Bar and modify their response for the duration of the sequence.
- Allow Rich Text Editor: This option enables or disables the FCKEditor for Learner's responses to the Notebook question. The default is Disabled.
 Note that the Notebook does not have the option to add a Reflective Notebook once the activity is completed.
