module · running todayStop describing where you mean
"The bit under the photo on the services page, not that one, the other one." Everybody has written that email. Sticky notes are the alternative: open your own site, put a note on the actual thing, and send. Your Manager gets the note and the exact spot it was stuck to, so nothing is lost in the translation from what you meant to what you managed to type.

A note, stuck to the thing
Pinned where you put it
A note belongs to the element you attached it to, not to a page in general. Your Manager reads "make this warmer" and knows precisely which paragraph "this" was, because the note came with it.
Point at it properly
Drag out an arrow at the thing you mean, drag a square around a region, or lasso the bits to change. When words are the slow way to say it, you do not have to use words.
Bring the file with you
Attach photos or files straight onto the note: the new logo, the photo from the job last week, the PDF with the right wording in it. The attachment travels with the note, so it never arrives in a separate email that has to be matched up later.
Everything in one send
Notes gather into a list as you go, across up to fifteen pages, and go together when you press send. The button counts them, so you can wander most of a site in one sitting and send the lot at the end instead of firing off six emails.
Private until you say so
Your notes are yours. They appear only for someone signed in as an owner of that site, so a customer reading your services page sees your services page. There is no draft mode to remember to leave, and nothing to accidentally publish.
A note is a request, not a change. Sending it hands the list to your Manager, which comes back with a preview of what it did, and the site itself is untouched until you approve that preview. The strip along the top of your own site says so in as many words: changes stay private until you approve them.
If you would rather make the change yourself than describe it, you can do that on the same page: point at text and retype it, remove something, move it, swap a photo. The on-page editing guide walks through every gesture, and it is the page the little yellow note links to on your own site.
Can this say "servicing the Hunter since 2009" instead? Photo of the new ute attached for the section below.

And what it is not
Knowing the edges up front is the point. Here is where this genuinely stops.
Not on a phone
This works on a phone as well as a laptop. Tapping is pointing, so the same menus open under your thumb, and if typing on a small screen is the annoying part you can hold the microphone and say it instead. And you can always fall back to asking your Manager for anything, or approving a preview, from wherever you are.
Not a live editor
Nothing you do on the page changes the page. A note is a request and a marked-up element is a request, and both go through the same preview and approval gate as an emailed one. That is the whole safety model, and making notes edit things directly would quietly remove it.
No shared scribbling with your team
Notes belong to the person who left them, not to a shared board everyone comments on. Collaborative markup is a real thing people want and it is a different design; today, what you leave is between you and your Manager.
On every site with a Manager
This one is not a pilot. Sticky notes and on-page marking are switched on across the sites we look after, for every owner with Manager AI, and they cost nothing extra because they are simply how you talk to your Manager when you happen to be looking at the page.
If your working day is a phone in one hand, this is still yours: tap the thing you mean, hold the microphone, say what you want, and send. It used to be a desktop job and it is not any more.
Want to see it on your own site?
If you are already with us, open your site while signed in and look for the little yellow note. If you are not, this is one of the things Manager AI comes with.
