# Sticky Notes

## Sticky Notes <a href="#sticky-notes" id="sticky-notes"></a>

Sticky Notes allow you to annotate and comment on your workflows.

Appizap Workflow Builder recommends using Sticky Notes heavily, especially on template workflows, to help other users understand your workflow.

### Create a Sticky Note <a href="#create-a-sticky-note" id="create-a-sticky-note"></a>

Sticky Notes are a core node. To add a new Sticky Note:

1. Open the nodes panel.
2. Search for `note`.
3. Click the **Sticky Note** node. Appizap Workflow Builder adds a new Sticky Note to the canvas.

### Edit a Sticky Note <a href="#edit-a-sticky-note" id="edit-a-sticky-note"></a>

1. Double click the Sticky Note you want to edit.
2. Write your note. [This guide](https://commonmark.org/help/) explains how to format your text with Markdown. Appizap Workflow Builder uses [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it), which implements the CommonMark specification.
3. Click away from the note, or press `Esc`, to stop editing.

### Change the color <a href="#change-the-color" id="change-the-color"></a>

2. Select **Change color** ![Change Sticky Note color icon](https://docs.n8n.io/_images/common-icons/change-color.png)

### Sticky Note positioning <a href="#sticky-note-positioning" id="sticky-note-positioning"></a>

You can:

* Drag a Sticky Note anywhere on the canvas.
* Drag Sticky Notes behind nodes. You can use this to visually group nodes.
* Resize Sticky Notes by hovering over the edge of the note and dragging to resize.
* Change the color: select **Options** ![Options icon](https://docs.n8n.io/_images/common-icons/three-dot-options-menu.png) to open the color selector.

### Writing in Markdown <a href="#writing-in-markdown" id="writing-in-markdown"></a>

Sticky Notes support Markdown formatting. This section describes some common options.

```markdown
The text in double asterisks will be **bold**

The text in single asterisks will be *italic*

Use # to indicate headings:
# This is a top-level heading
## This is a sub-heading
### This is a smaller sub-heading

You can add links:
[Example](https://example.com/)

Create lists with asterisks:

* Item one
* Item two

Or created ordered lists with numbers:

1. Item one
2. Item two
```

For a more detailed guide, refer to [CommonMark's help](https://commonmark.org/help/). Appizap Workflow Builder uses [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it), which implements the CommonMark specification.

### Make images full width <a href="#make-images-full-width" id="make-images-full-width"></a>

You can force images to be 100% width of the sticky note by appending `#full-width` to the filename:
