Explain table purpose
Leave concise notes where the team is already looking at the model.
Diagram notes
Keep sticky-note documentation next to the schema.
DataPilot ERD helps teams keep explanations, caveats, onboarding notes, and review questions attached to the visual model instead of scattering that context into screenshots and side documents.
Capture open questions
Use notes to flag ambiguous relationships, migration risks, and business assumptions.
Reduce documentation drift
The closer the explanation stays to the schema, the easier it is to keep current.
Support onboarding and review
Notes help new reviewers understand what matters without reading the entire database first.
