# Creating Sticky Notes on a Canvas

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 ![sticky-note-icon](https://docs.box.com/images/box-canvas/sticky-note-icon.png) in the Canvas toolbar.
2. Choose the desired color of your sticky note.
3. Click anywhere on your Canvas to place the note.

> The default color of a sticky note in Box Canvas is yellow.

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.
