# 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](https://commonmark.org/help/) explains how to format your text with Markdown. n8n uses [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/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.
