Notes
Attach notes to DNS records to document investigation findings, decisions, and context for your team.
Notes let you attach comments to DNS records to document findings, record decisions, and communicate context between team members. They provide a lightweight collaboration layer on top of your DNS inventory.
Where notes appear
Notes are always tied to a DNS record, but you can add them from multiple views:
- Record detail — add a note directly on a record
- Certificate view — add a note from a certificate (attached to the associated record)
- Screenshot view — add a note from a screenshot (attached to the associated record)
- Issue view — add a note on an issue for investigation context
Regardless of where a note is added, it remains accessible from the parent record.
Adding a note
- Navigate to a record, certificate, screenshot, or issue
- Open the Notes section
- Type your note (up to 2,000 characters)
- Click Add Note
Notes are attributed to the user who created them and timestamped automatically.
Deleting a note
Only the author of a note can delete it. Click the delete icon next to your note to remove it.
Notes in the Change Log
When a note is added to an issue, it appears as an Issue note added event in the Change Log. This provides an audit trail of investigation activity alongside other DNS changes.
