# Notes

> Add visual annotations on the canvas to document processes, without affecting the flow's execution

The **Notes** node lets you add annotations directly on the canvas to document processes, leave reminders, or provide context for other users working on the flow.

Notes are purely informational and **do not participate in the bot or workflow execution** — you can use them to better organize the layout of your automations without affecting how they run.

## When should you use a note?

Notes are especially useful once a flow grows and several people are involved in building it. Some common use cases:

* Explain the logic of a section of the flow.
* Document decisions made during development.
* Leave pending tasks for another team member.
* Flag integrations or external dependencies.
* Visually separate different processes within the same workflow.

<Tip>
  For example, add a note indicating that a validation block depends on an external service, or a reminder that an API needs to be updated before pushing the flow to production.
</Tip>

## Create and configure a note

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the node">
    From the Builder's side menu, select **Notes** and drag it onto the canvas, or click it to add it automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Position the note">
    Place it wherever you want to add the information. You can move it freely at any time to reorganize the content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the content">
    Select the note to open its configuration panel and write the text. Changes save automatically as you edit.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Change the color

Each note can be customized with different colors to make the workflow's visual organization easier. A good practice is to use a different color depending on the note's purpose:

| Color         | Suggested use                                 |
| :------------ | :-------------------------------------------- |
| Yellow        | General information or reminders              |
| Green         | Finished or validated processes               |
| Blue          | Technical information or integrations         |
| Red           | Pending items, risks, or critical tasks       |
| Pink or lilac | Business comments or functional documentation |

<Note>
  Colors are purely organizational and don't change the flow's behavior.
</Note>

## Best practices

* Write short, easy-to-understand notes.
* Use clear titles or phrases.
* Place the note near the block it refers to.
* Use colors consistently throughout the flow.
* Delete notes that are no longer needed to avoid outdated information.
