Where is it used?

Historically, Facebook Notes were used for:

• Publishing articles, updates, or stories directly on Facebook

• Long-form thought leadership content by influencers, creators, or brand Pages

• Press releases, announcements, or detailed responses without linking to external blogs

• Internal communication or employee storytelling for company Pages

Today, similar long-form content strategies have shifted to:

• Facebook posts with extended captions

• Linked content to external blogs or Medium

• Newsletter platforms or LinkedIn Articles

When to use it?

When Facebook Notes were active, they were used:

• To share in-depth content without a website or blog

• For storytelling or personal essays

• During campaigns that needed context or background stories

• When aiming to improve organic reach with written content directly on the platform

Currently, you might use long-form post captions or Facebook Instant Articles (for publishers) to serve similar purposes.

How to use it?

(When the feature was available):

1. Navigate to your profile or Page

2. Click on the "More" tab and select "Notes"

3. Click "Add Note"

4. Add a title, body text, images, and links

5. Format the content (headings, bold, etc.)

6. Publish to share with your audience

Since Notes are now deprecated, users now:

• Use standard post formats for storytelling

• Redirect to external blog links or newsletters

• Leverage video or carousel posts for layered content presentation

Why do we need it?

• Allowed deeper engagement via long-form content directly on Facebook

• Kept the audience within the platform (no need to visit external sites)

• Supported storytelling, thought leadership, and detailed updates

• Was useful for influencers and brands without a standalone blog

• Offered searchable, formatted content accessible to followers
