By Michelle Lewis | April 8, 2020

Microsoft has enhanced the note-taking experience in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CRM) by introducing rich text notes in the Dynamics 365 timeline. Keyword searching across notes, activities, and posts is also now available. These new features enrich the user experience and make the task, and activity management easier than ever!

Now when you create a new note, you can emphasize specific words, and phrases by changing the font color, highlighting text, adding bullet points, indenting text, and much more!
