# How to Add Notes to a Competency Level

# How to Add Notes to a Competency Level

**In this article:**
* Overview
* How to add notes
* Things to keep in mind
* FAQs
* Who can do this

## Overview

Each cell in a Roadmap — one competency at one level — has a **Notes** field. Use it to capture context for that competency at that level: guidance for assessors, examples, or anything you'd want to remember when working on the Roadmap.

This article covers the Notes section only. For how to open a cell's settings panel, see *How to Edit a Competency-Level Cell*.

## How to add notes

1. Open the cell's **Competency Level Settings** panel (click the cell in the grid).
2. Click the **Notes** section to expand it.
3. Type your notes into the box. They save automatically a moment after you stop typing — there is no Save button.

## Things to keep in mind

* Notes save automatically shortly after you stop typing.
* Editing a cell on a Roadmap that is already **Published** flips the Roadmap back to **Unpublished**. Re-publish it once you're done.
* Notes are separate from the cell's **Description** — the Description sits at the top of the panel and is the summary of the competency at this level, whereas Notes are for your own context.

## FAQs

**Do I need to save my notes?**
No. The Notes box saves automatically a moment after you stop typing.

**What's the difference between Notes and the Description?**
The **Description** at the top of the panel summarises what the competency looks like at this level; **Notes** are a separate field for additional context you want to keep against the cell.

## Who can do this

**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers** and **Content Managers** can edit competency-level cells, including notes. **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot edit Roadmaps.
