Where notes show up

  • Library card. A one-line preview shows under the card.
  • Search. Library search matches words in your notes.
  • Every board. The note belongs to the item, not the board. Put the item on three boards and all three show the same note.

For a back-and-forth with your team, use comments instead. A note is one short text box.
