Wondering if there is anywhere within each project (or in general) that has a notepad of sorts? I like to keep notes from discussions, thoughts, ideas, etc but that is neither a conversation nor a task. If it doesn’t exist can someone make it happen? Would be a very remedial and standard feature I’d think!
Thanks!
Not exactly, but here are a few options:
The “Notes” task is probably the best bet. Thanks so much, great ideas!
Hi @Mark_Yaeger! I’ll let you know how I take notes to add to @Craig_Fifer’s “notes” task suggestion. I have a project called “Meetings” where each task contains meeting notes in the task description. The project acts as a reference area and I don’t check off any tasks. You could do the same thing and/or create a project called “Notes” or “Meetings and Notes.”
I like all of @Craig_Fifer’s ideas. In particular, using the progress tab
Thanks Alexis… that’s a good option as well!
I’d still love to see a notes field. I use the description area for other things, but I guess I have to use it for notes. I love Asana, but there are a few things about it which frustrate me. Even if I created a template, there wouldn’t be a notes field.
@Theresa_Jennings feel free to submit your feedback as a thread in the #productfeedback category 
Agreed! Would love a place to have general “Notes” to be stored.
such a feature would be very helpful.
There’s a product feedback request that you can vote on to get the developers looking at this feature.

I would also desperately like to have a section that functions as a collaborative notepad. The problem with using a Notes task is that it can only be edited by one person at a time. Is there any way to bring something in more along the lines of Evernote?
Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @anon52866536!
I mean general important notes about a project could be added to the overview
Another option is under „Home“ where you have widgets with one of them being a notepad.
And here is a feedback request thread you might be interested in upvoting.
I am new to Asana. We have just started to use it internally. One of the first things I looked for was were to add notes to a project, and a “little” surprised there isn’t this functionality other than using the description part of a task. This seem a bit of a fudge and an obvious gap in functionality.
Welcome, @Ian_Scott1, and others from this very old thread! A lot is new in Asana since this thread started.
Short notes about a project can be added in Edit project details:
That info, essentially a project description/notes, can also be found by clicking the Overview tab, where there’s also the opportunity to add a larger Project Brief with Asana most modern editor.
Either approach should address this need.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi all, if you’re interested in a Docs functionality, you should vote on this Asana Docs proposed feature. 🦄 Asana Docs
Hi! I have been using the new “Note” feature in asana, but am having trouble receiving notifications when someone mentions me in the note. I have all notifications turned on including mentions and receive them when mentioned on a comment… just not when mentioned in a note. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?
Welcome, @Alisa_McDaniel,
I recommend you check Product Feedback to see if someone already created a topic for this request that you can vote on. If not, please create a topic there with your request and vote with the purple Vote button at the top there.
Thanks,

Try https://www.actanote.com/ it is a centralised notes application that allows you to push your actions to asana projects as tasks and delegate them from the note. Great if you want to keep all your notes in one place but connect it to your asana.
