Notes
Overview
Notes is a Salesforce feature.
You can stay organized and on top of all your deals by adding notes to accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, and more. With Notes, Salesforce’s enhanced note-taking tool, you can use rich text, lists, and images in your notes, relate notes to multiple records, and create notes in Lightning Experience.
Notes is a standalone related list within Lightning Experience.
For Salesforce Classic:
If Notes are not enabled, then the old Notes and Attachments related list will still have Notes within Salesforce Classic.
If Notes are enabled, Notes will have their own related list (same as in Lightning).
In Salesforce, Notes and attachments are used to enter some comments or add external documents along with the Salesforce records. Notes in Salesforce provide the functionality to enter some text which is not mentioned in other fields. Attachments, on the other hand, are external documents attached to a record.
