Note Blocks [or Annotation schedules] list all instances of annotations that you can add using the Symbol tool. For example you can create a new annotation family, add parameters, and then have these appear in a note block schedule.
I’ve included one example workflow for Note Blocks below in the video tutorial. In this example we can create a new symbol family with a “number” and “description” parameter. It could be utilized for a simple “general notes” list in a project where you want the numbers to be linked to a note schedule. Keep in mind they are very flexible and I’m sure others have come across other uses.
Feel free to add comments with other approaches you may have taken with Note Blocks!

Great tip!
I used to use this for keynotes on contract documentation. At the time we also added an instance parameter for sheet reference (manual entry unfortunately) and then filtered the note block (schedule) for placement on each sheet. (1 schedule per sheet.) It's not as long winded as it seems because once you place all the 'keynotes' on the sheet you can select all and update the sheet reference.
In some ways it is actually superior to the built in keynoting because you can have succinct notes on the drawing and lengthy descriptions in the schedule. No link to materials properties though.
