Frequently asked questions
Can my teammates see my notes?
Yes. A note is stored in the file, so everyone who opens the file sees the same card, and anyone who can edit the file can edit it.
What happens when I copy a note?
The copy keeps the content, color and size but becomes a separate note, and its author and time are set again by whoever first sees the copy.
Which tags are there?
Note, Info, Alert, Caution, Good, Bad, Question and Screen, or no tag at all. Choose one in the editor's Change type menu.
Does All Notes show notes from other files?
No. It lists the notes of the file you have open, across all its pages.
Can I export my notes?
Not yet. All Notes shows an Export button, but it has no function in the current version.
Can I make text bold or italic?
No. The editor offers bullet lists, numbered lists, quotes, links and images, but no bold or italic.
How many images, links and quotes does a card show?
The card shows up to 6 images, 5 links and 5 quotes. Anything beyond that stays in the note and is listed in the editor, but not drawn on the card.
Where are the images stored?
Inside the note itself, in the Figma file. Nothing is uploaded elsewhere.
How do I close the editor?
Close the Edit Note window with its X. Your changes are already saved.
Why does a note lock at all?
So two edits do not overwrite each other: while the editor writes to a note, typing on the card is paused.
Does copying a locked note copy the lock?
No. A copy starts unlocked.
