 Adding notes in Alert Detail

Now you can add your own comments in the Alert Detail view, enabling you to track specific findings from your investigation and have all the information about the threat together. The notes are enabled when an alert is placed in any state different from “New/Triage” (Investigating, Remediating, Remediated/Resolved, False Positive/Resolved, Ignored/Resolved).
