Abstract: A technique manages notes pertaining to a document during an online meeting. The technique involves, while displaying contents of the document to participants of the online meeting, accessing, by processing circuitry, public notes and private notes pertaining to the contents of the document, the public notes and the private notes having been provided by a particular participant. The technique further involves sharing, by the processing circuitry, the public notes with other participants of the online meeting. The technique further involves concealing, by the processing circuitry, the private notes from the other participants of the online meeting.
