# Notes Refactor

We rebuilt [Notes](../help/faqs-and-tips/teaching-tips/notes-add-a-note-for-learners-staff-or-personal-reference.help.md) to make note-taking smoother for you and your learners. Notes now:

- **Keep unsaved changes:** If you navigate away while writing or editing a note, your work is saved. A small marker shows when a note has unsaved changes.
- **Remember:** New notes use the visibility setting you chose last time, and the list keeps its scroll position so you can pick up where you left off.
- **Respond faster:** Creating, editing, and deleting notes happens instantly.
