How to add Notes to articles on Feedly

Add notes, highlights, and tag your teammates on articles

Maximize the value of your research efforts by enhancing your findings with notes, highlights, and tags while collaborating seamlessly with your teammates. In this article, we'll show you different ways to share valuable insights with your team directly through the Feedly app.

You can share your notes and highlights with your teammates through email, Team Boards, Slack, MS Teams, Buffer, and more.

Follow these five steps for smarter collaboration with Feedly Enterprise

Step 1: Connect to Slack or Buffer

Did you know you can directly tag your teammates in Feedly?

• Scroll down your screen and click on ‘Integrations’
• You should see the ‘Share content’ label
• Click on ‘Connect to Slack’ and/or ‘Connect to Buffer’ button

You can also tag your teammates using their email address. For this, you don’t need an additional integration.

Step 2: Pick your article

• Open the article of your interest
• Immediately, you should see a ‘Notes’ box under the headline

Step 3: Type in your note and tag through email, Slack, or Buffer

Email tag:

• Start typing your Note
• Mention someone through the email method by adding a “+” followed by their email address (no spaces). Feedly immediately sends them an email with your Note and a link to the story

Slack or Buffer tag:

• Type in your note
• Mention a colleague by adding the ‘@’ symbol followed by their Slack or Buffer username, and the Feedly slackbot will notify them immediately

Step 4: Save your Note

Click the green “Add Note” button, and you’re done!

Step 5 (Additional): Adding Highlights

If you want your teammates to focus on specific sentences in the article, you can highlight them!

Simply select the sentence or phrase of your interest, and the ‘Highlight’ button will show up.

Note: You can also directly Tweet (now X), post to WordPress, clip to Evernote, save to OneNote or Search Google by clicking the respective buttons.

FAQs

Do I have to save the story in a Team Board for notes and mentions to work?

No, you can mention a colleague on any story, and they will see the email or Slack notification. However, it will be easier to locate the story later if you save it to a Team Board.

What does the email notification look like?

The person you mention using “+email@company.com” will receive an email from Feedly right away. The email includes a link to the story on Feedly along with your note.

What does the Slack notification look like?

It appears in Slack immediately, with a link to the story in Feedly:

Can I send a note to one of our Slack channels?

Yes, sending your notes to Slack channels is a great way to give your team a heads up about a story. Add a hashtag before the Slack channel name in your note. The Feedly slackbot will send your note with a link to the story in Feedly.

Here’s an example: Remi (@remitrang) sent this note to our team’s #random channel. It shows who sent it, the note, the channel name (#random), and a link to the story.

Can I edit or delete a note?

Yes. To edit your note, put your cursor over the note box and click “Edit.” Click “Update” when you’re done editing.

What happens to edited notes in Slack?

Edited notes in Feedly will be updated in the slackbot message. However, your colleague will not receive a new Slack notification for each edit. Deleted notes are not deleted in Slack.

Do notes expire?

No, your notes remain in Feedly for easy reference anytime.
