# Add personal notes

Using personal notes agents can record information that remains private and is not visible to other agents working on that case.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_hr\_core.case\_writer

## About this task

Unlike working notes, which are accessible to all agents assigned to a case, personal notes provide a secure way to document sensitive information that shouldn't be shared with the broader team. For example, when managing Employee Relations cases, agents can use personal notes to document confidential details.\[Omitted image "personal-notes-aws.png"\] Alt text: Personal Notes panel in contextual side panel showing text entry field and add file option
