Creating a private note
It's easy! You can use the global 'Create' button from anywhere in the application to take a private note:
This will open up the Note dialog. Now pick who this note is about, and compose.

Since private notes are in essence regular messages, you can decide to share them with whomever you'd like, crafting the privacy settings to your needs.

Revisiting Notes
Underneath the performance review form there's a tab that highlights data from within Small Improvements. All your messages about Stan will automatically show up underneath Stan's performance review form. Below is an example.
