Hello!
I have a document of about 100 pages with around thirty footnotes. I've formatted my text in two columns and I would like the footnotes to be in full width. I was looking for an automatic way to do this because I have 20 documents to format in this way, so doing it manually by copying and pasting into a new box is not very appealing to me.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Helvet,
According to your model, it’s done manually.
What cbgraphiste is trying to do is have the notes automatically positioned in a wide column, with the layout being in 2 columns.
However, this is impossible to do.
For example, I linked the two blocks, the wide column being for the notes.
Well, InDesign isn’t going to place the note in the wide column but rather in the 2 column layout.
The point of the notes is that they are placed automatically, not to place them one by one manually.
That’s why before each creation, I ask if there are any notes.
If there’s one or two, I can manage with 2 columns. Otherwise, I forget about it.
