# Notes

> Keep a private note against a referred customer in Referly. Add, edit, and save internal notes, and see at a glance which customers have a note from the Notes column.

Notes let you keep a bit of context on a customer — why you accepted a submission, that a sale was added by hand, a reminder to follow up, anything your team should know. A note lives on the customer's record and is private to you: the customer and the referring affiliate never see it.

## Add or edit a note

There are two ways to open a customer's note, both in your [Customers list](/docs/help-center/manage/customers/overview):

* Open the customer's actions menu on their row and choose **Notes**.
* Or select the note icon in the **Notes** column on their row.

A box opens where you can write or edit the note. Type what you need and select **Save**.

To change a note later, open it the same way, edit the text, and save again. To clear a note, delete everything in the box and save.

## See who has a note at a glance

The **Notes** column shows a small document icon on every row, and its look tells you whether a note is there:

* A **filled blue icon** means the customer has a note.
* A **gray outline icon** means there's no note yet.

Hover the icon to preview the note without opening it, with an **Edit Notes** option right there if you want to change it. If the column isn't showing, turn it on from the columns control in the toolbar.
