As you can see in the following screen shot, there is a "Notes" section in the VM's "Summary" tab, but how do I go about actually adding to it? In Proxmox VE 1.9 I stored details about the VM's OS and arch; I've come to rely on it, and I can't figure out how to add those details in 2.0.

For anyone in the future, googling this subject.. ( because that's how I found this post )
You can use these commands to generate the report to be pasted into NOTES section.

Code: 
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z"
uname -r
uptime
lscpu | grep "Model name:"
lscpu | grep "Core(s) per socket:"
free -h
ip a
hostname
lspci -vnn
find /dev/disk/by-id/ -type l | xargs -I{} ls -l {} | grep -v -E '$' | sort -k11
lsblk
zfs list -o space


These commands will gather the necessary information about your system, hardware, disks, and ZFS space usage. You can then format the output of these commands into the report structure using Markdown's basic table syntax with pipes (|) to define the columns and rows.
And ## to make text bold

Another useful command: find dev disk by id:
Code: 
find /dev/disk/by-id/ -type l|xargs -I{} ls -l {}|grep -v -E '[0-9]$' |sort -k11|cut -d' ' -f9,10,11,12
Example: (paste this into your notes to see how it looks)
