About Notes
Notes let you capture and store information as you work — a quick thought, a URL worth revisiting, or an article you want to come back to. They act as your personal scratchpad inside the News module, always available fromNews → Notes.
What Is a Note?
ANoteis a personal item you save for your own reference. There are several types of notes:
- Text note— Free-form text you type yourself, up to 4096 characters. Useful for recording observations, summaries, or anything you want to remember.
- URL note— A web address you want to keep track of, saved as a clickable link.
- Document note— An article or document saved directly from the search results. It retains the title and URL of the original source.

Personal, Not Shared
UnlikeBookmarks, which are visible to everyone in your organization,notes are strictly personal. Only you can see your own notes — they are never shared with other members of your organization. This makes notes the right tool for private working notes, drafts, and ideas that are not yet ready to share.
If you want to share a saved article with your team, promote it to a bookmark. SeeHandling Notesfor details on how to do this.
