# Creating Sticky Notes on a Canvas

export const InlineImage = ({src, alt = "", height = "1em"}) => {
  return <img noZoom src={src} alt={alt} style={{
    display: "inline-block",
    verticalAlign: "middle",
    height: height,
    width: "auto",
    margin: "0"
  }} />;
};

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "End User , Box Canvas , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction , P6"}} />

Express your ideas during a team brainstorming session by using the sticky notes feature in canvas.

## Adding a sticky note to Canvas

To add a sticky note:

1. Click the sticky note icon <InlineImage src="/images/box-canvas/sticky-note-icon.png" alt="sticky-note-icon" /> in the Canvas toolbar.
2. Choose the desired color of your sticky note.
3. Click anywhere on your Canvas to place the note.

<Note>
  **Note**
  The default color of a sticky note in Box Canvas is yellow.
</Note>

When you click on the sticky note icon in the toolbar, a menu with available colors is displayed, and your standard cursor changes to a sticky note cursor. Navigate anywhere on the Canvas to place a sticky note.

If you have previously added a sticky note to a Canvas and you're adding a new one, it has the same color as the previous one. If you're adding the first sticky note, it's added in the default color, yellow.

## Using sticky notes

Double click on the sticky note to add text to it. Font size adjusts automatically based on the number of characters that fit into the sticky note.

### Context bar

Click once on the sticky note to display the context bar.

* adjust font size,
* format text,
* add hyperlink,
* change text alignment:
  * vertical (align to top, middle, or bottom),

* create a bulleted or numbered list,
* send the sticky note to front or back,
* copy or delete the sticky note.
