Sticky Note

Place annotated notes on the workflow canvas for documentation and organization.

Overview

The Sticky Note node provides a free-form text annotation that can be placed anywhere on the workflow canvas. It has no inputs or outputs and does not participate in workflow execution. Sticky notes are purely for documentation, organization, and communication – useful for labeling sections of complex workflows, leaving instructions for collaborators, or noting design decisions.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
Title	string	"Note"	Heading rendered inside the note, above the body. While a note has a title, it replaces the floating label above the note. Optional — notes made before titles existed keep their floating label.
Text	string	""	Note body. Supports multi-line text. Click into the note to edit.
Color	hex string	"#26221a"	Background color. The toolbar offers seven swatches — three muted, three brand tints, and paper (#26221a: warm near-black in dark mode, cream #f6eedc in light mode, the default) — plus a free colour well for any hex. Text colour follows the surface automatically (dark ink on light surfaces, light ink on dark).
Text Color	hex string	"#ffffff"	Legacy field; the rendered ink is derived from the surface colour.
Width	number (px)	320	Note width in pixels.
Height	number (px)	200	Note height in pixels.
Font Size	enum	"base"	Body size, cycled from the note’s toolbar. Options: sm (Small, 12px body / 14px title), base (Paragraph, 14 / 17), lg (Heading, 18 / 22), xl (Display, 26 / 30) — the title always sits one step above its body.
Bold	boolean	false	Whether the text is bold.
Italic	boolean	false	Whether the text is italic.
Alignment	enum	"left"	Text alignment. Options: left, center, right.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs: None.

Outputs: None.

Best Practices

• Use sticky notes to label major sections of complex workflows (e.g., “Image Generation”, “Audio Processing”, “Output”).
• Choose contrasting background and text colors for readability.
• Keep notes concise. Use larger font sizes for section headers and smaller sizes for detailed annotations.
• Place notes behind or beside the nodes they describe, sized large enough to visually group related nodes.

Common Use Cases

• Documenting workflow purpose and design decisions directly on the canvas.
• Labeling sections of large workflows for navigation.
• Leaving instructions or context for team members who may edit the workflow later.
• Marking TODO items or known issues within a workflow.

Tips

• Double-click the note to enter edit mode. Click outside to finish editing.
• Sticky notes appear transparent on the MiniMap, so they do not clutter the overview.
• Resize by adjusting the width and height values in the configuration.
• Sticky notes are saved with the workflow and persist across sessions.
• Since they have no inputs or outputs, sticky notes never affect execution and cannot cause errors.
