Keep an early idea open for research and team discussion, then turn it into a Brief when the work is ready to shape.
Notes are unstructured Discovery artifacts for ideas, hunches, and research that are not ready for delivery structure. A Note gives the team space to explore an idea, do research, and discuss it before shaping it into a Brief.
Ask Hamster in chat to capture an idea as a Note. The Note keeps the early thinking available while teammates add context and continue the discussion.
When the idea becomes deliverable, convert the Note to a Brief. The Brief carries the work into refinement.
Tell Hamster what you want to capture and ask it to create a Note. Open the result to review the idea and continue the conversation with your team.
Use Convert to, then select Brief, Blueprint, or Initiative when the idea is ready to become work. Hamster creates the new item from the Note's content and opens it. The Note stays in place and links to what it became.
The property row at the top of a Note shows:
The Notes page shows Active notes by default. Use the Status filter to include Archived notes, and the Owner filter to narrow the list to specific teammates. Search finds a Note by title, and display settings switch between cards and a table, group by owner, and change the sort order.
