# How Much Current Affairs Should I Put in UPSC Prelims Notes?

I’m making notes for UPSC Prelims and keep getting stuck on how much detail to save from the news. A short fact sheet can miss useful context, but copying whole articles makes revision unrealistic.

How do you decide whether a news item belongs in **UPSC current affairs notes**, and how much background is worth keeping? I’m looking for a practical way to connect current events with static subjects without turning the notes into a second newspaper archive.
