Content guidelines

Use an adequate note type to communicate the right kind of information
Place the note visually closer to the action or real estate it relates to
Unlike notifications, notes don't show up as feedback only after a user has performed an action
Use clear and succinct copy
Ensure the copy is easily scannable. Focus on the objective and limit the number of concepts in each sentence
Use progressive disclosure. Eliminate details that can be revealed as the user interacts and requires more information
Use active voice, present tense, and consider tone of voice depending on the circumstance
To add additional context, link out to documentation
Do not preface the instructions with introductory text, such as "please"
