Sticky Notes

Sticky Notes are text blocks you can place on the canvas.

They help you (and other people) understand what your workflow does.

Add, edit and arrange a note

Open the workflow in the editor. Everything happens on the canvas:

1. 1 Step 1:Click Add sticky note In the toolbar at the top left. A new note appears on the canvas.
2. 2 Step 2:Drag it into place Click and drag the note anywhere, even behind steps to group them. Double-click it to edit its text.
3. 3 Step 3:Resize it Click the note, then drag one of its corners.
4. 4 Step 4:Or right-click it › Edit Sticky Note Opens the same editor as a double-click.
5. 5 Step 5:Change Color Pick a colour to group notes visually. The palette icon on the note, when you hover it, does the same.

Numbered areas in the screenshot: 1. Add sticky note; 2. A sticky note: drag to move, double-click to edit; 3. Drag a corner to resize; 4. Edit Sticky Note; 5. Change Color.

In the editor, use simple formatting (bold, headings, links, lists). Close it to save the text.

Sticky Notes support embedding YouTube videos with this syntax:

@[youtube](VIDEO_ID)

For instance:

@[youtube](ZCuL2e4zC_4)

This renders the embedded video directly in the note (if video embedding is allowed).

Images in notes can be displayed full width by appending #full-width after the URL, e.g.:

![Alt text](https://example.com/image.png#full-width)

Tips for Effective Notes

• Use one note at the top to explain the goal of the workflow.
• Use notes to label sections (for example: “Extract”, “Clean data”, “AI summary”, “Save”).
• In shared workflows, good notes save other people time.
