You should also note if a shift is going to occur or could occur so that individuals can learn as they reference the notes if they forget.
Good point! I have a separate page on rearrangements – https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/reaction-guide/substitution-with-alky-shift/ and https://www.masterorganicchemistry.com/reaction-guide/substitution-sn1-with-hydride-shift/ but these should probably be condensed!
