Workflow notes

Workflow notes allow you to annotate and comment on your workflows.

We encourage using workflow notes heavily, especially on template workflows, to help other users understand your workflow.

Create a note

Workflow notes are a type of core node. To add a new note:

1. Open the nodes panel.
2. Search for note.
3. Click the Note node. n8n adds a new note to the canvas.

Edit a note

1. Double click the note you want to edit.
2. Write your note. This guide explains how to format your text with Markdown. n8n uses markdown-it, which implements the CommonMark specification.
3. Click away from the note, or press Esc, to stop editing.

Note positioning

You can:

• Drag a note anywhere on the canvas.
• Drag notes behind nodes. You can use this to visually group nodes.
• Resize notes by hovering over the edge of the note and dragging to resize.
