Project Notes

Notes are text documents related to the project. They help you keep important project information, such as:

  • Links to all related materials.
  • Attached files and images.
  • List of important project contacts.
  • Meeting reports.
  • Wiki pages and project know-how.
  • Descriptions of processes and manuals.
RecommendationDo not share passwords in notes. Password manager apps are way better for this.
