WordPress 6.9 introduced Notes, placing editorial feedback where it is most useful: on the block being reviewed. Instead of sending a screenshot or asking someone to “fix the third paragraph,” a reviewer can attach a note to the exact heading, image, or paragraph that needs attention.
Why it matters
This is useful when one person writes and another approves, especially on service pages and long articles. The discussion remains close to the content, reducing the chance of editing the wrong section. Review also becomes part of the publishing workflow instead of a separate chat that is difficult to search later.
Notes do not replace roles, permissions, or a formal approval record. Decide who may change copy and who owns the publish decision. Test the experience with the custom blocks your site actually uses before making it the team standard.
Try it quickly
Create a test page, add one note to a heading and another to an image, then ask a second editor to reply and resolve both. If the review is understandable without an external explanation, the feature fits your workflow.
