Add a sticky note in Figma or FigJam and change its color, tag and size

Goal

Leave a note on the canvas that everyone in the file can read, colored and tagged so its purpose is clear at a glance.

Before you start

• A Figma Design or FigJam file you can edit.

Steps

1. Place a note Open Resources in the toolbar, go to Widgets, search for Notely Widget and click it. A yellow card of medium size appears, tagged Note, with your name and photo in its footer.
2. Write on the card Click New Note to type the title and Info ... to type the text. Your text is saved when you click outside the field.
3. Pick a color Select the card and choose a color in the toolbar above it: Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Orange, Teal, Pink, White or Dark. The tag follows the color, for example Blue is Info, Red is Alert, Green is Good and Purple is Question, until you choose a tag yourself in the editor.
4. Set the size Click the size button (Size: S, M or L) to cycle through small, medium and large. To fine-tune the width, hover the left or right edge of the card and click the arrow; each click widens or narrows it by one step.
5. Collapse it Click the chevron in the card's header, or Expand in the toolbar, to fold the note to its tag and title. Click a collapsed card to open it again.

Tips

• Select several Notely cards to change their color, size or collapsed state in one go.
• The time in the footer is when the note was last edited, shown as just now, minutes, hours or days ago.

Result

A colored, tagged sticky note on the canvas that shows who wrote it and when it was last edited.

If something goes wrong

• The toolbar above the card is empty and I cannot type on it. Someone has the note open in the editor. Close the editor window, or see the guide on locked notes.
• The title disappeared. A card hides an empty title when it has text, and the title's eye button in the editor can hide it too. Open the editor and type a title or turn the eye back on.
