Add a new "Message" box

It would be nice to have a new feature added that is a message box on each person's details page in a prominent position (i.e., above the Life Sketch box) where one could leave a message such as "Husband listed below in Family Members box might be incorrect--see note in Collaborate tab dated 4 April 2022 entitled 'Possible Wrong Spouse' for further information."

    Your request possibly highlights the need for the "Collaborate" section to be more noticeable than it is now, as many users still manager to be unaware of it. However, to users like me (who never use the Life Sketch feature) such a "message box" would draw no more attention (located at the top of the person page) than finding such notes (where they probably belong) under "Collaboration".

    Having said that, I admit I do sometimes add notes (including a possible alternative event) against my "Vitals" inputs - again in a hope other users might notice these comments more easily.

    I agree with Paul: what we need is not yet another type of collaboration note, but better placement and utilization of the existing ones.

    Makes sense. I agree, the Collaboration function is great, just not noticeable, hence my suggestion for putting some kind of notice at the top of the page. Making the Collaborate tab more noticeable is a good idea. There is a lot of empty space to the right of the ancestor's name; perhaps some kind of badge to click (that takes you to Collaborate) could go there.
