took note
Registered the information
Took note means noticed or paid attention to something worth remembering.
It suggests more than passive observation—an active decision to register information: She took note of his hesitation before answering.
The phrase often implies the information may prove useful later: Investors took note when the CEO resigned unexpectedly.
