## Introduction

Tines Notes provide a way to document and share information about a story and specific actions taken within it by providing a space to add text and images. Notes are seen by all team members when viewing the storyboard. Common use cases for Notes include documenting intricate parts of a story, explaining unclear API requests, listing out required parameters for Send to Story actions, and associating workflows with external documentation for audit purposes.

## Creating a note

Notes can be added to a story by clicking the "Add Notes" option on the left side of the storyboard and dragging a new Note into the story. Notes can also be added by selecting the storyboard and using the keyboard shortcut `n`.

Notes support formatting using the Markdown markup language. We support the [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/help/) specification. Notes have a limit of `8000` characters.
