Scoping Question: "Do you want to enable users to edit or delete notes in the note history?"
Selecting this question will enable users to edit or delete notes that they previously took in the notes history section. They are not allowed to change the notes of other users. There is no version history of the notes maintained, so the earlier versions of changed and deleted notes cannot be retrieved after save.
