How do I add an "extra" field?

Anki Card Design

I have a simple note type with front and back fields, but I wish to add an “extra” field to the back side of the card where I can add additional information/context that fleshes out my answers.

I’ve read the part of the manual about adding/editing note types, but I’m still not sure I can achieve this. Do I need to add some html to this section below? Any guidance appreciated!

You first have to add the field from the Fields dialog (click the Fields button when in the Add screen. After that, use the Add Field button at the bottom of the Card Types screen (shown in your screen) to add a field reference to the back template.
