We’ve decided to simplify the process of saving your private thoughts on questions. Until now you had to write a private comment, only visible to you. We always felt this was clunky and hard to discover. It also caused problems with key factors and other comment-centric features.

Now you can instead leave yourself notes in a dedicated section of the question page. They are autosaved every few seconds.

All your previous private comments have been migrated to the new private notes section, with timestamps. You can also now find all your private notes in a section of your profile.
