To make sticky notes truly your own, you can quickly make various changes using the formatting toolbar and context menu. Here, you can change the color, change the font, and even lock your sticky notes to preserve them.

Note: You can hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and click to select multiple sticky notes. Or, hold Shift + click + drag to highlight a selection. Then, use the formatting or context menu to take action for all selected sticky notes.

When you add or click to select a sticky note, the formatting menu automatically pops up:

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll find in a sticky note’s formatting menu:

A. Move

Click and drag to move the sticky note around the canvas.

B. Lock

Lock the sticky note to prevent unwanted edits. You can choose to allow other collaborators to unlock it or only allow facilitators to unlock it.

Immediately zoom to an up-close view of the sticky note for easy editing.

Toggles between drawing mode and text mode.

Note: You’ll lose existing tags from the sticky note if you switch from text to sketch.

E. Font size.
