Adding a note to Thursday The only way in 1 * Create content * Add note Hidden until you hover the day, and always shown on a touch screen.

Delete joins the row only once the note exists, at the far left of it, and takes effect with nothing asking. A note is body text, a colour and one date. It starts from the plus on a day, which is the only way in, and it is saved with a button rather than autosaved the way a note on a post is. A note contains up to 1,000 characters, a color, and one date. It does not have a separate title, time, or repeat schedule. To edit a note, open it, change the text or color, and select **Save**. Save is disabled until something changes. Use **Cancel** or the close button to discard unsaved edits. **Delete** removes the note immediately without a confirmation or an undo option. ## Choosing a Color Select a color from the workspace palette, a recent color, or a custom color. New notes default to yellow. Colors do not change behavior. Agree on your own convention if the team uses colors for different reminders. ## Where Notes Show * **Month:** Above the day's tasks and posts. * **Week:** In the Notes row above the time blocks, alongside enabled tasks. * **List:** In a separate group above posts when All statuses is selected. Month and Week show up to two lines of text. Open a note to read the rest. Switch to Month or Week to create a note; List does not offer that action. ## Moving One Switch to **Month** and drag the note to another day. Notes can be moved to past dates as well as future ones. Week and List do not support dragging notes. ## Notes Here Against Notes on a Post Use the note type that matches the work: | What | Calendar note | Note on a post | | ----------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Attached to | A day | A specific post | | Answers | What is happening this day | Context for this piece of content | | Shows on | The calendar grid | The post's Notes tab | | Text | Plain, up to 1,000 characters | Rich text, no limit shown | | Saving | A Save button | Saves itself as you type | Calendar notes can be included in a shared calendar. Post notes remain internal. ## Who Can Add Them **Managers** and **Editors** can add, edit, move, and delete calendar notes. **Creators** and **Viewers** can read them. Notes belong to the workspace and are visible to its members. Changes sync for other viewers without a refresh. Review Notes Before Sharing Them Calendar shares exclude notes by default. Turn on **Include calendar notes** to share their text, dates, and colors. Review the notes before including them in a client snapshot. ## Questions ### What is a calendar note for?
