As a general rule, notes have always been posted at the ends of stories which isn't always practical. This new feature is specifically for a note you might want your readers to see before they start a story.
You can add the note through the story submission page, exhibit A:

The limit for the note is 1,000 characters and it will appear in italics at the top of the story. The one liner will now be in bold to differentiate. There is no requirement to use the new feature; it's just there in case of need. As it will be separate to the main story, the note will not appear in the home page/profile page extracts thus keeping things neat and tidy and wonderful.
Please remember to only include information relevant to the story. For example, writing 'hannah is truly wonderful heart eyes emoji' would be irrelevant, no matter how true.
Thank you.
