Wix Blog: Adding Notes to Your Posts
6 min read
You can add notes to your blog posts in the post composer in your site's dashboard. Notes are a great way to leave reminders for yourself or your blog's authors for changes that the post may need.
For example, you can leave a note on a post when multiple authors are working to create a post together.
