Overview

Partner notes let partners annotate solutions, shortlists, and briefs with commentary and recommendations. Notes come in two visibility levels — personal (only the partner sees them) and shared (the buyer sees them too).

Note Types

Visibility	Who can see it	Use case
Personal	Only the partner who wrote it	Working notes, internal evaluation, draft recommendations
Shared	The partner + the buyer organization	Final recommendations, analysis for the buyer to review

What You Can Annotate

Notes can be attached to:

Solutions — evaluate individual solutions with pros/cons, pricing analysis, fit assessment
Shortlists — add high-level commentary on a curated list
Briefs — annotate brief responses with your analysis

Adding a Note

Make sure you're in a buyer context (select a buyer org from the Partner Switcher)
Navigate to a solution, shortlist, or brief
Click the notes icon to open the notes panel
Choose Personal or Shared tab
Write your note and save

Editing & Deleting Notes

You can edit or delete any note you've written. Changes take effect immediately. Shared notes that are deleted are also removed from the buyer's view.

Permissions

Notes require the Notes permission on the partner delegation. If you don't have this permission, the notes feature won't be visible. Ask the buyer organization admin to update your permissions if needed.

Best Practices

Start with personal notes — use them as working space while you evaluate
Move to shared when ready — change a note's visibility from personal to shared when you want the buyer to see it
Be specific — reference pricing, capabilities, and fit criteria so your recommendations are actionable
One note per topic — keep notes focused; use multiple notes for different aspects of evaluation
