Updated Dec 10, 2025

In this article

Overview

Documents stored in the content section have an internal note feature, which can be used to give more context and details about the document. This is a great way to ensure teammates stay up to date about the state of the document.

Important: Internal document notes are only visible to other DocSend users on your DocSend account and are not visible to visitors. 

Best Practices

Updates & Context

You can use the note section to provide updates on how the document can be used. We typically recommend including dates, users, and also bullet points whenever possible.

Search-ability

Improve search-ability with a tagging structure. We recommend putting an underscore (_) in front of specific terms to make searching easier. Ex. _SecondVersion, _NewCopy.

Things to consider

  • The description note for documents in Spaces is public facing and will be visible to visitors when a space is shared.
