Content Uploads & Embeds
What kind of content can be uploaded or inserted into notes?
The note app provides editing tools that allow an image in a note to be cropped (e.g., to remove the left half of it)
The note app allows the edges of the picture to get dragged so it becomes larger or smaller
Words in the image are added to full text search, so the note will show up in search results that contain a word from within the image
The title and body of the PDF are automatically indexed in search

Encryption/Security
What measures are taken to ensure customer data remains private, even to employees of the companies themselves?

A documented claim exists that note content can be created that employees are unable to access

Formatting Supported
What options are available for formatting text and related content in a note?
Excluding text that gets colored as a side effect of some other formatting feature listed (e.g., highlight)

User can choose an explicit font (not just a theme) to restyle text
