English term or phrase: Items of note
This expression appears in the heading of a section on a web application manual that I am translating.

I can't think of any fluid, natural equivalent in Portuguese for this expression right now. Suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

"of note" is a idiom really, and it means:
Important, of distinction, famous, as in I have nothing of note to report, or The speaker was a man of note. This idiom uses note in the sense of "importance" or "fame." [Late 1500s]

I don't like "itens" very much to tell you the truth...and there aren't many examples of this snetence on google

Artigos a notar / Artigos dignos de nota are a couple of other alternatives...
