Content guidelines

• Use an adequate note type to communicate the right kind of information
• Place the note visually closer to the action or real estate it relates to
• Unlike notifications, notes don't show up as feedback only after a user has performed an action
• Use clear and succinct copy
• Ensure the copy is easily scannable. Focus on the objective and limit the number of concepts in each sentence
• Use progressive disclosure. Eliminate details that can be revealed as the user interacts and requires more information
• Use active voice, present tense, and consider tone of voice depending on the circumstance
• To add additional context, link out to documentation
• Do not preface the instructions with introductory text, such as "please"
