Hi Ayesha,

What you include in the note for a figure varies depending on what the figure is. If it’s an image you took from another source, you would include information about that source, and potentially copyright and permissions information if needed. If it’s some sort of data visualization (like a graph), you might include definitions that help explain how the reader should understand the image.
