How To Add Notes to Collections

Overview

You can add notes to custom Collections to support lesson preparation, instructional planning, and implementation alignment. Notes can include delivery suggestions, dates, or other reminders. To add notes to a Wayfinder-made Collection, you must duplicate it to create an editable copy.

Notes are visible to all educators who have access to the Collection. Only Editors can add, edit, or delete notes. To update user permissions in a Collection, see Co-Creating Collections.

If you select a custom Collection as Featured Content, the notes you add will be seen on educators' Home dashboard. Including a date in the notes does not make it appear as Featured Content on that date.
