Working with captions

Note: For a form with multiple layouts, if you add or edit a section note or caption for a locale, the text is visible in all of the layouts. For example, if a study supports English and French, and you have two layouts, Layout1 and Layout2, both layouts support both English and French. If you edit a note or caption in Layout1 for the French locale, the note or caption is always visible in Layout2 for the French locale.
