Smarter Notes on the Contacts Page

Notes on the contacts page are now more structured and easier to manage. These updates help teams organize contact details more clearly and find important information faster inside CRM & Sales.

What changed

The Notes section now supports several improvements for contact management:

  • Add a note title for better structure and easier searching
  • Use color-coded notes for faster visual organization
  • Attach files directly to notes
  • Pin important notes to the top of the timeline, with a limit of 2 pinned notes
  • Search notes by both title and description
