• Add a Table of contents so your audience can skip ahead to a relevant section. Structure your note's contents with headers like H2s and H3s at the beginning of each section. Then select Table of contents from the More menu. The Table of contents will appear wherever your cursor is located in your note. It will contain a list of links that follow your heading structure:

  • Click any link to jump to a specific section.

  • Click the icon in the upper right to collapse your table of contents.

  • Insert a link with #top as the URL to jump your audience from a section of the text editor back up to the table of contents.

• Use Callout boxes to highlight critical copy. Select Callout box in the + [More] dropdown, then choose from one of four options: Information, Note, Warning, or Tip. Each has its own background color to draw your audience's eyes to different types of messages.

• Insert Images to visualize information, then comment on them directly in threaded conversations.

• Add Labels to organize lists and update statuses. Highlight text, open the + [More] dropdown, click Label, then select a color. For example, you may want to visually communicate that a project is at risk or that a task has been completed.

You can also directly mention Aha! records by typing the # key followed by the name of ID of the record.
