## New at HQ

*in Greenville, SC*

Here’s Paul, our Product Designer, on a couple improvements to Pathwright that just shipped:

### ✨🔗 New links that save time

1️⃣ One of Pathwright's best-kept-secret features, [Notes](../../help/faqs-and-tips/teaching-tips/notes-add-a-note-for-learners-staff-or-personal-reference.help.md), got a link upgrade last week. Teachers or learners can add and share notes on any step as they learn and then view all their notes in a private notebook view (and even print them out afterward).

Now each note includes a link back to the exact Step or Lesson where it was added. It's easier now to jump back to a note’s context or use notes as bookmarks for a step or idea you want to revisit later.

2️⃣ For customers who manage lots of active [Cohorts](../../help/offer-courses-multiple-ways-with-cohorts/cohorts-help-everyone-learn-together-again.help.md), you'll also find a new, handy link in the Cohort Manager that will quickly jump you to the Cohort you're looking at. Click on the Cohort's name to jump right to it.
