I keep a lot of important essential information in the notes section for customers.
Today when I have logged on the notes section has disappeared, along with all that important information.
Whats happened?
I'm here to help you fix this, @Holmes_Books.
Let's see if someone changed or deleted your customer's note section in your Audit Log.
Here's how:
For more information about the Audit Log, consider checking out this article: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.
If there are no changes in the customer notes, try signing into your QBO using a private browser (incognito). This will help us check if this is a browser-related issue. Let me walk you through.
Once done, try to check the customer section if you can see the notes. If the issue persists return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.
Leave a comment if you're referring to something else or if you have any additional concerns. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day!

I have checked the audit log
- nothing in there
I have used incognito mode
- notes are not there
I have cleared the cache
- notes are not there.
If you go to customers, and pick one, normally the notes are at the top in the grey area - they aren't
If you click edit for the customer, you go to customer details, there is normally a tab for notes - that isn't there.
it has just disappeared along with the notes.
The first screen shot is from my company showing no notes tab, the second is from the sample company showing the notes tab.
As you can see it doesn't appear in my company and all the information has gone from the grey part of the client screen (where there is normally the notes or (in blue) ad notes.

Hello, was there ever a resolution on this as I am encountering the same problem. I also have an error "Error loading notes. Please click to retry" When you click on it, nothing happens. Can anyone assist?
Thank you
Let's team up and to solve this issue together, @TTRAN2!
Receiving the error message "Error loading notes. Please click to retry," when opening your customer's notes could be due to a cache-related problem. If that's the case, you can troubleshoot it. First, use a private or incognito window to rule this out.
Here are the shortcut keys:
After that, log in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account and access your customer notes again. If it works, clear your browser's cache to remove the webpage data causing the issue. If a private browser doesn't work, use other supported browsers you've installed.
If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our support team. This way, they can closely examine your account and offer a resolution.

did you get a fix for this? I have the same issue
Hello, I still have this as an open issue. It has not been fixed and my last communication with the support team at QB was that the developers are looking into this and do not have a time on when this will be fixed. They do not have an answer as to why we have this problem.
Hi there, Tina and TTRAN2. I can see how frustrating it can be to have an unresolved issue. I want to ensure that we take this matter seriously. Let me route you to our appropriate support for them to provide information about this issue.
Before that, I'd like to ask if you've tried performing the troubleshooting steps provided by my colleague above. If not, I suggest performing the troubleshooting steps. Sometimes, cache-related issues can cause QuickBooks Online (QBO) to load incorrectly. As a result, this has caused the customer notes not to show up.
If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Support team to be added to the list of affected users and receive timely email updates.
Here are the steps to contact us:
