  • $\begingroup$ Yes, it is an answer to my question. I wonder if there is any way to keep all of the usage messages in a separate notebook linked to the notebook where they are created. The reason is that I like to have an uncluttered notebook (without explanatory notes) and retrieve the names not as single elements but retrieve the entire notebook where the names are stored like a separate window open when I create other names.. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 9, 2018 at 16:29

    $\begingroup$ @TugrulTemel. You can put the the usage message definitions in an auxiliary notebook. Make all the definition cells initialization cells. Put a Needs function call at beginning of you working notebook to load the messages. Make the cell with the Needs call an initialization cell as well. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2018 at 2:33

    $\begingroup$ @TugrulTemel. You can't accept a comment, but you can accept the the answer it is attached to, which is what I recommend. I made my remarks a comment so as not to set up a rival answer to this one. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2018 at 14:29
