Chart notes on the Overview chart

A chart note marks a date on the Overview trend chart with a short text, for example a campaign launch, a press release or a site change. When a line moves, the note next to it tells you what happened that day. Notes belong to the project, so everyone with access to the project sees the same notes.

Add a note

1. Open Overview in the sidebar.
2. Click any point on the main trend chart. A small panel opens next to the point, set to that day.
3. Type the note in What happened on this day? A note can be up to 280 characters.
4. Pick one of the six colours.
5. Click Pin note, or press Enter.

You can also click Add note under the chart. The panel then opens on today's date.

To pin the note to a different day, change the date field at the top of the panel. Future dates cannot be selected. Press Escape or click outside the panel to close it without saving.

Where notes appear

• On the main chart: a dashed vertical line in the note's colour, with a marker on that date. If a day has several notes, the marker shows their colours together.
• In the chart tooltip: hover a day to read its notes and who wrote them.
• On the KPI cards: the small trend lines on the Mention Rate, Sentiment and Share of Voice cards carry the same markers.
• Under the chart: every note is listed with its date, its text and the author's name, newest first.

Several notes on one day

Click a day that already has a note. The panel lists the existing notes for that day and the text field changes to Add another note…. Each note keeps its own colour.

Delete a note

Click the x next to a note, either in the list under the chart or in the panel for that day. Any member with access to the project can delete any note. It is a shared log, not a personal one.

Good to know

• A note cannot be edited. To change the text, colour or date, delete the note and add it again.
• Notes are pinned to a date, not to a metric. The same notes show whether you look at Mention Rate, Sentiment or Share of Voice, and in both the Competitor and Solo views.
• If saving fails you see "Failed to add note". Try again.
