Welcome to Notes—a simple way to store everything you uncover about your brand while using Motion. Your team can save Notes whenever they get inspired, find something surprising, or want to keep track of something for later.
How to add Notes
When you (or someone on your team) has a lightbulb moment while working in Motion, you'll want to add a Note so you don't lose track of it.
Here are some examples:
You have a great idea for how to iterate on one of your top ads from the last few weeks.
A new designer is starting next month, and you want to save some high-performing ads to help them get started.
You're starting to see a trend that should be covered in your monthly creative review, but you are waiting for more results to come in.
And, anyone on your team can create a Note, so it's a great idea to regularly review all the notes that your team adds to stay on the same page.
Adding a Note to a Creative
When you're viewing a report and open Creative Insights, you can click the 'Notes' section to add new Notes or review existing ones.
Enter the details of your new note (example: great hook but low click-through, let's rework this CTA at 00:07) and save it.
Pro tip: You can quickly add a Note directly from the thumbnail preview, rather than opening Creative Insights. But you won't see other notes from this view.
Where to find your Notes
Your Notes are always available from the dropdown menu in the top left. hand sidebar. Each workspace has its own dedicated collection of notes.
How to use your Notes
We've been saying "save the notes you don't want to lose" but what does that mean? What kind of notes are we talking about?
Here are some suggestions from Motion's creative strategy pros:
Treat it like an idea board that you review with your boss once a week to prioritize what you add to your creative pipeline.
Or, if you're more senior, set this up as a recurring task for yourself to turn your notes into pipeline items.
Use it to bookmark topics for your monthly reports. It's an easy way to track what you noticed throughout the month when you're summarizing trends.
Use it to highlight things you're noticing and ask your team to review each others' notes so you're all on the same page.
