# Leave notes for other AI Managers in Playbooks

Playbooks now have a `NOTE` step. AI Managers can record the intent of a flow next to the steps it explains. For example, a note can say why a branch exists or what the values of a variable mean.

## What's new

A `NOTE` step is an annotation for the people who edit the Playbook.

* **Never runs.** The AI Agent skips notes, and end users never see them.
* **Goes anywhere.** Add a note between any two steps, including inside an `IF/ELSE` branch. Drag it like any other step.
* **Shows its author.** The note header shows who last edited the note and when.
* **Keeps step numbers.** A note takes no line number, so the steps around it keep their numbers.

To add a note, select **NOTE** in the add-step menu.

See [`NOTE`](/docs/automation/playbooks/step-reference#note).
