6.3. Editing Case Notes and Viewing Note History

Describes how to edit case notes and view note history.

The history of a given note includes the original note content, as well as any edits that have been added to the note.

Note history can be reviewed by all providers but the content of the original note can never be deleted or altered.

Note edits can only be made by the original author of the note. To comment on a note that you did not write, you need to create a new note associated with the same issue as the note you are commenting on.

All signed and saved notes that you have authored are shown with a pen-and-pencil icon  beside them. Notes authored by providers other than yourself do not have this icon and cannot be edited by you.
