Shared notes, like regular notes, are free-form text. Unlike regular notes, each shared note can be linked to more than one person, family, source, or fact.

By clicking the appropriate icon, you can establish a link to an existing shared note or create a new shared note and at the same time link to it. If a link to an existing shared note has already been established, you can also edit that note’s contents.

  • Link to an existing shared note If you already know the ID number of the desired shared note, you can enter that number directly into the field. When you click the Find Shared Note icon, you will be able to search the text of all existing shared notes and then choose one of them. The ID number of the chosen note will be entered into the field automatically. You must click the Add button to update the original record.
  • Create a new shared note When you click the Create a new Shared Note icon, a new window will open. You can enter the text of the new note as you wish. As with regular notes, you can enter URLs. When you click the Save button, you will see a message with the ID number of the newly created shared note. You should click on this message to close the editing window and also copy that new ID number directly into the ID number field. If you just close the window, the newly created ID number will not be copied automatically. You must click the Add button to update the original record.
  • Edit an existing shared note When you click the Edit Shared Note icon, a new window will open. You can change the text of the existing shared note as you wish. As with regular notes, you can enter URLs. When you click the Save button, the text of the shared note will be updated. You can close the window and then click the Save button again. When you change the text of a shared note, your change will be reflected in all places to which that shared note is currently linked. New links that you establish after having made your change will also use the updated text.
