Account notes are a key workflow tool for agencies and in-house teams tracking changes over time. Losing easy access to notes makes troubleshooting performance swings harder and weakens institutional memory across teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What users are seeing<\/strong>. In affected accounts, the \u201cAdd note\u201d option no longer appears in the standard popup where advertisers typically annotate changes. The issue appears to be <strong>sporadic<\/strong>, working normally at times and disappearing at others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workarounds, for now<\/strong>. Caspi says one workaround is clicking on an existing note, which then reveals the option to add a new one. The downside: this only works if a note exists in the current date range.<\/p>\n<p>Another option, shared by Paid <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Specialist, <strong>Dids Reeve<\/strong>, is to open the Notes panel from the \u201cMore\u201d (burger) menu, where the add-note function may still be accessible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next<\/strong>. Google has not publicly acknowledged the bug or shared a timeline for a fix. Until then, advertisers relying on notes may need to use alternative entry points \u2014 and double-check that important changes are being properly documented.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First seen. <\/strong>This error was first spotted by Caspi who shared his view of camapign reports on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7420509497137463296\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
