# Sticky Note
## What sticky notes help you do
Sticky notes help you explain the workflow on the canvas.
Use them to:
* label each section of the process
* leave instructions for teammates
* group related steps before publishing
### Create a sticky note
There is one way to create a sticky note.
1. In the **Workflow Builder** screen, click the three-dot menu in the top bar.
2. Select **Add sticky note**.
3. The sticky note appears on the canvas.
### Add and update content
You can:
* **Duplicate** the sticky note.
* **Enter content** inside the sticky note.
* Use **Markdown formatting** inside the note.
#### Markdown formatting guide
**Bold text**
Wrap text with double asterisks:
`**Bold**` → **Bold**
**Italic text**
Wrap text with single asterisk:
`*italic*` → *italic*
**Headings**
```markdown
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
```
**Insert link**
```markdown
[Example](https://example.com/)
```
**Unordered list**
Use `*` before each item.
```markdown
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
```
**Ordered list**
Use numbers `1, 2, 3...`
```markdown
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
```
**Insert image**
```markdown
```
Add `#full-width` to make the image span the full width of the note.
**Embed YouTube video**
```markdown
@[youtube](Hpm-Wd98Py8)
```
The YouTube video must allow embedding.
#### Good examples
Use sticky notes for short, practical text.
Examples:
* `Lead qualification`
* `Approve orders above $5,000`
* `Send final answer to customer`
### Move and resize a note
Use sticky notes to make the canvas easier to review.
You can:
* drag a note anywhere on the canvas
* place it behind related nodes
* resize it to cover a section of the workflow
This works well for large workflows with multiple stages.
### Delete a sticky note
When a note is no longer needed, delete it from the sticky note controls.
## Best practices
Use sticky notes well by following three rules:
* keep each note focused on one message
* name sections by business purpose, not technical detail
* update notes when the workflow changes
Good section labels:
* `Customer input`
* `Review and approval`
* `Send report`
Less useful labels:
* `Node group 1`
* `Logic here`
* `Test area`

Tip: If another person can understand the workflow in one quick scan, your sticky notes are doing their job.

### Next steps
* Keep the full workflow readable in [Appearance](/workflow-builder/appearance.md).
* Organize workflows consistently in [Tags](/workflow-builder/tags.md).
* Review finished runs in [History](/workflow-builder/history.md).
