Reviewing DNA matches is like reviewing any piece of genealogical information: keep track of any conclusions from the information you make that are not specifically stated in the information. If you figure out how a match is related to you, briefly summarize (in the notes) what caused you to reach that conclusion.

DNA conclusions are often tentative as more information (results from additional tests) are obtained. It’s often helpful to be able to go back and review why you thought what you did. That’s what I did with a recent DNA match of my own.
