Notes on watchlist items

Each watchlist row carries an optional notes field — your free-text annotation. Use it for whatever helps you remember why the product is on the list.

In this guide:

• Add a note
• Edit / clear a note
• Patterns that work well
• Length limits

Add a note

Two ways:

• At save time. When you add a product to the watchlist (from the product detail page), an inline notes field appears. Type and save.
• Later. On any watchlist row, tap the row’s ⋯ menu → Edit notes.

Edit / clear a note

Same path: row → ⋯ → Edit notes. Update the text or clear it entirely. Save.

The note is per-watchlist-entry. Removing the row from the watchlist deletes the note.

Patterns that work well

Decision shorthand

• “sample ordered 2026-04-15, awaiting”
• “compared to WIDGET-A; choosing WIDGET-A”
• “saved for Q4 review”

Supplier-side

• “contacted supplier ABC, MOQ 1000”
• “verify OEKO-TEX certification”
• “check if supplier ships to FBA UK directly”

Risk flags

• “trademark concern; investigate before listing”
• “crowded; only worth pursuing with brand-distinguishing positioning”
• “saturated by Amazon Basics; deprioritize”

Follow-up triggers

• “revisit in 30 days”
• “check after Q4 to see if seasonality holds”
• “share with ops team Tuesday”

Length limits

• Soft limit: ~500 characters. Beyond that, the row’s notes display gets truncated with a “more…” link.
• Hard limit: ~5000 characters per note. Longer notes belong in AI Notes or external docs, with a short pointer in the watchlist note.

Searching by notes

The watchlist’s “Has notes” filter narrows to rows that have any note. Free-text search across notes is on the roadmap.

For now, if you need a “find all watchlist rows mentioning X” workflow, it’s faster to scroll the list with the filter on or to keep notes in a separate AI Notes hub.

Coming soon

• Notes search — full-text query across all watchlist notes.
• Note templates — pick from common templates (“Supplier check”, “Pre-launch review”).
• Mentions and shares — @teammate to surface a note in their watchlist (alongside the collections feature).
