Stickies ​

Stickies are short notes for ideas, reminders, and to-dos. Your notes are private to you, and each workspace keeps its own collection.

The Stickies page with eight notes in different colors, among them a release checklist with to-dos, a sprint retro, a list of links, and a 1:1 agenda, next to the app rail and the workspace sidebar

Create a sticky ​

  1. Click the sticky note icon at the bottom of the app rail, in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  2. Click Add sticky.
  3. Type your note.

The sticky note icon at the bottom of the app rail, expanded to show All stickies, the most recent sticky, and Add sticky above the close button

Changes save automatically. If Plane shows Sticky not created with "There already exists a sticky with no description", the first sticky in All stickies is empty. Add text to that sticky or delete it, then create the new one.

Format and color a sticky ​

Use Bold or Italic in the note's toolbar to emphasize text. Select To-do list to add checkboxes, then check off items as you finish them.

Click Background color and choose a color for the note.

Your stickies on Home with the Background color palette open above a note's toolbar, showing eight colors, and notes that use bold, italic, bullets, and to-do lists

View and find stickies ​
