How to Use a Generic Note Board
Note boards allow people to post new or existing notes on them. In other words, they act as a kind of container for notes. You can place notes into a Note Board in two ways—either by creating a note directly, or by taking an already created note and posting it into the Note Board. Existing notes must be held (get/take) in order to be successfully posted.
