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.
Adding a note to a post
Any writer or editor with access to your blog can write notes on your posts. You can also add as many notes as you want to a post.
To add a note:
- Go to Blog in your dashboard.
- Select the post that you want to add a note to.
- Click Notes in the top right corner of the post.
- Enter your note in the bottom right of the notes panel.
Tip: Use the "@" symbol with a writer's name to mention them on the post, e.g. "@Jay Cee". Learn more about mentions - Click Add.
Using mentions in a note
You can mention writers or editors in your notes so that they receive a notification about your comment. Anyone who has access to a post can use mentions.
Note:
It's only possible to mention writers
with Editor permissions or writers who are the owner of the post.
To use mentions:
- Go to Blog in your dashboard.
- Select the post that you want to add a mention to.
- Click Notes in the top right corner of the post.
- Add a new note or edit an existing note.
- Type the @ symbol followed by the name of the person you want to mention, e.g. "@Jay Cee".
- Click Save.
Responding to a note
When someone mentions you in a note on a post, you'll receive an email notification. You can go to the post that contains the note by clicking
View Note.
To respond to a note:
- Click View Note in the email notification.
- Click Notes in the top right corner of the post.
- Click Reply under the note you want to respond to.
- Enter your response.

Resolving a note
When you or your collaborators are finished with a note, you can resolve it. For example, if an editor tagged you in note to replace an image in a post, you can resolve the comment after you replace the image.
Resolved notes are moved to the
Resolved tab and are no longer visible on the
Open tab.
To resolve a note:
- Go to Blog in your dashboard.
