Why don't new entities load?

Say I have a game save in a map on my custom story, then I go into the Level Editor and add a new entity, for example a note. Why, when I reload that game save, does the entity not show? And I must restart the entire game from the start just for one entity to load? Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this just the way it goes?

Because the gamesaves store the state of the map at that time, and all that new stuff you include later wasn't there when it saved.

... and so you must delete the <mapname>.map_cache file from your maps directory before loading it again.
I like to restart the game when adding entities, but it isn't necessary. Just do a normal reload.
