Sticky notes
A sticky note is a small icon on the page that holds a longer comment. Use it when the remark is not about one particular piece of text.
In the app: Help ▸ Show me
Add a note
- Press N or click the Sticky note tool.
- In the options bar, choose an icon (see below).
- Click where the icon should sit. A popup opens, headed with the author name and the date.
- Type the comment.
- Click Save, or press Ctrl+Enter.
Cancel or Esc closes the popup without saving. Clicking elsewhere on the page saves it.
Tip
The author shown is your configured name; see Author name.
Icons
The icon list offers six symbols: Comment (the default), Note, Key, Help, Paragraph and Insert. They are only a visual cue; the note text works the same for all of them.
You can change the icon later: open the note and pick another icon from the list in the popup, then save.
Open or edit a note
- Double-click the icon, with any tool active.
- With the Sticky note tool active, click an existing icon.
- Select any object and press Enter to give it a comment of its own.
Drag the icon with the Select tool to move it. Select it and delete it to remove it.
