Sticky Notes

Sticky notes are free-floating annotations you can drop on the workflow canvas. Use them to leave context for collaborators, mark sections of a workflow, or jot down "why" decisions next to the nodes they explain.

Notes do not participate in execution: they're never scheduled, never invoked, never produce or consume data, and they never appear in execution history. They exist purely as visual annotations on the canvas.

Adding a sticky note

In the canvas toolbar (bottom of the workflow editor), click the sticky note button next to Add Node. A note appears on the canvas; click into it and type your text.

Editing a note

  • Type to edit — click inside the note and start typing. Changes are autosaved with the workflow.
  • Change color — hover over the note and click the palette icon at the top of the card. Pick from the preset colors.
  • Resize — drag the bottom-right corner of the note. Both width and height persist.
  • Move — drag the note like any other canvas element. Notes can overlap nodes; they don't push anything around.
  • Delete — hover over the note and click the trash icon.

What sticky notes don't do

  • They don't connect to nodes — you can't draw an edge into or out of a sticky note.
  • They don't run, fail, or appear in execution logs.
  • They don't show up in the Add Node palette.
  • They don't count toward any per-workflow node limits.

Notes are saved with the workflow version, so they ride along when you publish, restore, or compare versions.
