Adding Notes for Writers, Reviewers, Approvers, and Assignees

When selecting writers, reviewers, approvers, and assignees in the Properties Wizard, you can include a note with information concerning the actions required of the content item. Any note you write is included in the task notification email sent to assigned users as soon as the content item moves to the status for which the note was written. For example, while working on the Assignees step, if you include a note, that note is sent as soon as the content item is published or started. A user assigned a content item task can also access a note from within the content item.
