Create Meeting Notes For Your Calendar Events

In a recent update to Google Calendar, you can now create a Meeting Notes document for any event on your calendar. 

This feature becomes particularly handy for events with multiple participants to share the meeting notes with the other participants.

The person taking the minutes during the meeting can also use the new @ command in Google Docs to assign tasks to participants, insert dates and link to relevant documents stored elsewhere in Google Drive. 

How to attach Meeting Notes to your Calendar Event

Attaching meeting notes to a Google Calendar event is as simple a selecting an existing Calendar event and then clicking the "Take Meeting Notes" link. 

As soon as you click the link, a new Google Doc will open already pre-formatted for taking notes. 

The document will include the Date and Time the meeting takes place, the title of the meeting and the list of attendees with an option for you to grant the attendees access to the meeting notes.

The event in your Google Calendar will also be updated with a link directly to the meeting notes document you have just created, making it easy for other participants to find the meeting notes and leaving a record of the notes for past meetings.

If you regularly take notes for meetings and assign tasks, this new feature should make it a lot quicker to create your meeting notes, share them, and keep a record attached to the Google Calendar event.
