# Notes

> A rich-text document attached to a record.

## Overview

A Notes property gives a record its own rich-text document, meeting notes on a
deal, an account plan on a company, research on a contact. It's the same editor
as a full [document](/blocks/embedded/object/notes) page, with formatting,
lists, and images, and it's collaborative: two people can write in it at once.

Pick it from **Communication** in the property type list.

## What it stores

A reference to a document. The prose lives in the document, not in the record's
field, which is what lets it be edited collaboratively and hold rich content.

<Warning>
  Because the body is a separate document, a Notes value doesn't behave like text
  in a filter or an export the way [Long Text](/data/properties/text/long-text)
  does. If you want paragraph text that filters, exports, and reads as an ordinary
  field, use Long Text instead.
</Warning>
