Sticky notes in whiteboards are no different from the sticky notes we all know and love. Use them to get down your thoughts and move them around the whiteboard to organize ideas or patterns.

Create a sticky note either from your toolbox or by double clicking on your whiteboard.

You can also drag and drop from the toolbar onto the whiteboard.

Note: The default color of the sticky note is selected at random when you first load a whiteboard. You can change it using the floating toolbar. Changing the color of the sticky note will change the color of the unused sticky notes in the toolbar.

Once your sticky note is on the board you can click on it and start typing to add text.
