### Notes, tips, cautions, and warnings
Grafana documentation uses notes, tips, cautions, and warnings. Notes are the most common. The format for all of them is indented, bold, sentence case:
```
> **Note:**
```
#### Notes
Notes provide additional information that the user should be extra aware of. For example:
> **Note:** This page describes a feature for Grafana 7.0 beta.
#### Tips
Tips describe alternate or more efficient ways of doing things. Rarely used.
#### Cautions
Cautions warn the user that they should proceed with caution. Use cautions to emphasize the potential downside of a course of action.
> **Caution:** If you turn off authentication requirements, then anyone can access your Grafana instance. This poses a considerable security risk.
#### Warnings
Warnings tell the user not to do something. For example:
> **Warning:** Grafana does not back up your dashboards. If you delete a dashboard, then you might not be able to recover it.
### Command line examples
* Do not assume everyone is using Linux. Make sure instructions include enough information for Windows and Mac users to successfully complete procedures.
