Adding notes to a story

To better identify stories on your dashboard, you can add a short descriptive note or label.

This note is displayed only on the dashboard story card. It isn't published with the story, and so won't be seen by your readers when the story is published. It can, however, be seen and edited by other members of your team who are story collaborators.

This makes the feature useful for your own personal reminders, or for letting team members know details such as the story status, expected publishing date, or content requirements.

Note: If you are collaborating with others and are looking to add comments inside a story for specific sections or text, see In-Editor commenting. To attach links to briefs and planning documents, see Story resource links.

How to add a note to a Shorthand Story

  1. In your Workspace, hover over the story card, just below the title — an Add note link will appear.

  2. Click on the new Add Note link, and a text box will appear with an input box:

  3. Enter your note text, and click the SAVE button.

Removing a note works the same way. Click on the existing note, remove any text in the text box and click the SAVE button. Effectively making the note blank like in the screenshot above.
