I am using the todonotes package. However, when the \todos get too long the text goes over the page and cannot be seen. Here is an example of what I tried:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{todonotes}

\usepackage{lipsum} %for dummy text

\begin{document}

\todo[inline,caption={}]{
Some notes:
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}

Therefore, how can you do a page break in the todonotes package, so that the notes go on on the next page?

I appreciate your answers!

    For such large content with colored background, don't use todo (They are not notes BTW but content ;-)). You are safe with say, tcolorbox.

    With todonotes, it is difficult though may be possible. I can add an example with tcolorbox if you want.

    Sorry about that but you can always search and replace using your editor.

    Are you using url packages? Check its manual for breaking a long url.

todonotes uses tikz nodes for its contents, and node contents can not be broken across pages.

Hence to put large amount of text with a frame and coloured background, todonotes is not a good choice. Better use tcolorbox. Here is an example as requested.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}

\usepackage{lipsum} %for dummy text

\begin{document}

\begin{tcolorbox}[colback=orange,colframe=black,enhanced jigsaw,
                   arc=3mm,boxsep=4pt,boxrule=0.5pt,breakable]
Some notes:
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[1]
\item \lipsum[2]
\end{itemize}
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{document}
