Adding Notes to Files

Learn how to add notes and comments to your uploaded files to provide additional context for our review team.

Why Add Notes to Your Files?

Adding notes to your uploaded files helps our review team understand your specific needs and requirements. Notes can significantly improve the quality and relevance of our review by providing:

  • Context about what you're looking for in the review
  • Specific areas of concern or focus
  • Background information about the file or project
  • Special requirements or deadlines
  • Any known issues or limitations

Pro Tip: The more specific and detailed your notes are, the more targeted and useful our review will be. Don't hesitate to include any information you think might be relevant.

Best Practices for Writing Notes

Be Clear and Concise

Use simple, direct language. Avoid jargon unless necessary, and explain technical terms when you use them.

Prioritize Information

Put the most important information first. If you have multiple points, rank them by importance or urgency.
