# Who Can See Meeting Notes?

## Visibility rules for public and private meeting notes

Meeting notes in Zal.ai have different visibility rules depending on whether they're public or private.

**This article is relevant to:** All roles

**Feature:** *Meetings*

## Public Notes

**Who can see:** All meeting attendees, plus HR and admins

Public notes are collaborative—both the manager and employee can see and contribute to them during the meeting. They become part of the shared meeting record.

## Private Notes

**Who can see:** Only the person who wrote them

Private notes are visible only to you. Use them for coaching observations, personal reminders, or reflections you don't want to share.

## Notes as Data Sources

Public meeting notes are included as data sources when generating AI performance review drafts. Private notes are not.

## Summary

**Public notes:** Visible to meeting attendees, HR, and admins; included in reviews

**Private notes:** Visible only to you; not included in reviews
