Add people to notes
If you use upgraded iCloud notes, you can collaborate with others by adding people to a note. Anyone you add to a note receives a link to open the note in the Notes app or on iCloud.com. As you and your participants edit the note, everyone sees the changes, as well as who made the changes (each participant’s changes are highlighted in a different color). Changes to the note are saved in iCloud, so everyone with access to the note sees the latest version whenever they open it.
Note: If you share a note by clicking the Share button 
, you can only send a static copy of the note—recipients can’t make changes to the note or see an updated version of the note unless you share it with them again. For more information, see Share a note through other apps.
