The Facebook Note is one of the oldest features that has stood the test of time on Facebook. Notes are a place where individuals and brands share content that’s too long, or not appropriate for a simple status update.
Businesses use Facebook Notes in a variety of different ways. For instance, a note may summarize the content on your latest blog post. With a link to your website, you’ll drive traffic back to the original material. Some organisations use notes to provide updates or additional details about their brand, without overwhelming the “bio” section.
If you can’t see the Facebook Note feature on your account, you may need to activate it.
Sign into your Facebook profile and click into the More tab displayed beneath your header photo. Click on the Manage Sections option to see a list of tabs or components to add to your Facebook page. You should see Notes here. Toggle the feature on to create, manage and share your notes.
Creating a new Facebook Note is simple. Click the + Add Note tab, and a word editor will pop up, which you use to write out your content. There’s also an option to select a large header photo for your note, similar to the graphics you would use for Facebook ads. Visuals will help to draw attention to your Notes.
Like many of the features on Facebook, brands often use Facebook Notes to communicate with and engage potential customers. Your notes may provide additional information about your business, product or service, then link out to corresponding pages on your website. Alternatively, you could use them to share case studies from happy clients.
Remember to:
Facebook may auto-complete the names as you type.Access, manage and delete your notes by visiting the More tab. As long as you have your Facebook Note section enabled, you can adjust your content.
New notes published by your followers or partners on Facebook will naturally appear in your News Feed. Visit facebook.com/Notes to see a version of your feed that only displays note content. You will also be able to see notes that other people have shared that include your business name. Switch to the Notes About [Your Business] tab to sort through this material.
To see posts shared by a specific user, visit that person’s profile and click on the More tab. Scroll down to Notes to view a collection of their content.

A note is a public post and appears in the News Feed for all fans or customers to see, and anyone tagged in the note receives a notification. The Notes app used to be the only place to publish a really long post, but now you can have an almost unlimited number of characters (currently more than 63,000) in a regular post, too.
You can title the note, upload a photo with it, and add some formatting (bold, italic, underline, bullets, numbering and quotations) to it.
The people who are tagged receive a notification and can view the note. (They can untag themselves if they don’t want to be attached to the note publicly.)
You can create a note and tag people and Pages to view it. You can tag your Friends and any Facebook Page. When you create a note, a notification appears in your Page Timeline and goes out to your likers’ News Feeds for everyone to see.
You can consider the Notes apps as a blog, an additional blog, or a larger posting space. You can create a special type of conversation among you and your likers. This conversation space could be for people who are enthusiastic about a particular subject. If you’ve already added the Notes app to your app section, follow these steps to create and manage your notes:
Click the Notes app in your Page’s app section below the Cover image.
If you don’t see the app, you need to add it to the app section.
Click the +Write a Note button in the top-right corner.
This button opens an editing space where you can create a title, type the text of the note, tag people and/or Pages, add a photo, preview, save a draft, and publish.
Enter the title and body of the note.
You can use a few editing tools, such as bold and italic.
A note can be really long.
Tag people and Pages.
To tag a person or a Page, start typing the person’s name or the Page name in the Tag field. Facebook displays a list of your Friends and Pages. Click the ones you want to tag.
Click the Add a Photo link, find the photo on your computer, and upload it.
Click Publish, Preview, Save Draft, or Discard.
You can decide how to proceed with this step:
Publish: Your note is published to the world! The note shows up as a Page status update and appears in likers’ News Feeds. Any people or Pages you’ve tagged are notified. Anyone can read and comment on your note.
Preview: When you click Preview, you see exactly how your note will look when viewed. It has two links at the top: Publish and Edit. You can edit the note by clicking Edit or go ahead with the publishing process by clicking Publish.
Save Draft: The next time you want to edit the note, look for the Notes app box. When you click that box, a Page Name Drafts link appears next to the Page’s name. Click the Drafts link and you see a list of all your note drafts. Just click the title you want to start editing. Non-Admins won’t see the link to your drafts.
Discard: Discarding a note removes it from your drafts. Discard is a way to delete before something is published.
When your visitors click the Notes app, they go to an interface with your notes on the left and notes by other Pages they’ve liked on the right.
Many Pages use the Notes app to create a daily list of events in their stores or a daily webinar schedule with quick links to the Event pages.
There are many ways to use this particular app.
