Add notes to saved items
Add a short "why I saved this" note to any saved post or link. It shows on the Library card and turns up in search.
Open a saved post or link and type in the Add a note… box. It saves as you type. The note shows on the Library card and in search.
Add a note
- 01
Open the item
Click any saved post or link in your Library or on a board.
- 02
Type your note
Click Add a note… and write why you saved it. On a post, the box sits right above the post text. Some links show a small Add note button instead.

Add a note while saving
| Where you save | How to add the note |
|---|---|
| Board picker (saving a post to a board) | Click the pencil button at the bottom |
| Insert a link or Paste link | Click Add a note under the link field |
Capture, Link mode (⌘ K) | Click Add a note, or press ⌥ ⌘ N |
| Chrome extension | Click Add note in the popup |
| Phone share sheet (iOS or Android) | Tap Add note before you pick a board |
| Save to sheet in the mobile apps | Tap Add note at the top |
The note is on the item as soon as it's saved.
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.
