# Appointment Notes

Add rich-text notes to an appointment and see them carry over to the client's future appointments for the same service.

This page explains how to add notes to an appointment and how those notes carry over to future appointments.

## Adding or editing notes

1. Click an appointment on the appointments page.
2. Press **Edit** to add or edit notes for that appointment.

Notes are rich text. To format a note with bullets or bold, use the buttons in the editor.

If you use the [Appointment Editor](/simplespa-documentation/daily-operations/appointments/appointment-editor.md), notes have their own **Notes** tab.
{% endhint %}

## How notes carry over

Notes saved in an appointment carry over to future appointments. They show up in the appointment popup window when the client books the same service again.

This is useful when you need to keep notes on a recurring service for the same client. For example, save a hair coloring "formula" on the first appointment, and it appears on future appointments.
