Well over 40,000 notes have been written since then. Businesses use them for things like basic communication with customers, noting customer preferences, and making announcements to a class. Starting today, you can keep a client note always visible by “starring” it, and post notes on your client website without emailing them to clients, too. ### Starred notes A standard public or private note will eventually go away on a person’s profile either because it’s no longer “recent” or because other notes have been added (you can always find old notes on a client profile by clicking **Notes** under **History** in the right menu). Now you can keep important information visible no matter how old it is or how many other notes are created after it, just by marking it with a star. Starred notes are great for noting customer preferences, injuries, or any other information that a staff member should know when accessing a person’s profile. ![Screen Shot 2014-01-31 at 4.06.23 PM](https://learn.pike13.com/hs-fs/file-3773766458-png/blog-files/screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.06.23-pm.png?width=650&height=325&name=screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.06.23-pm.png) **In a client profile** To add a new starred note, go to a person’s profile, click or tap **New Note,** and then click or tap **★ Star this note**. Star an existing note by tapping **★ Star **next to the note timestamp. ![Screen Shot 2014-01-31 at 4.11.35 PM](https://learn.pike13.com/hs-fs/file-3773766473-png/blog-files/screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.11.35-pm.png?width=717&height=385&name=screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.11.35-pm.png) **In a class or course roster** On the roster, a ★ appears next to the name of any person with a starred note. To see all of that person’s starred notes, click or tap the gear button to the right of their name, and see all their starred notes below. ### Adding a note to your Pike13 website When you need to make an announcement or add special instructions to your class but don’t want to email everyone in attendance, you can add a **Website Note** to a class, course, or appointment that is posted on your Pike13 website. It won’t send an email to your clients. ![Screen Shot 2014-01-31 at 4.23.25 PM](https://learn.pike13.com/hs-fs/file-3773766488-png/blog-files/screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.23.25-pm.png?width=262&height=408&name=screen-shot-2014-01-31-at-4.23.25-pm.png) To add a website note to a class or course, click or tap the **Notes** tab, enter your note, click or tap **Pike13 Website**, and then click or tap **Post on Website**.   - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Explore More **Running a Business is Hard—We Make It Easier.** Find expert tips, advice, inspiration, and success stories below.
