Give the board a second voice — a reminder in the corner, a definition beside a diagram, a speech bubble pointing right at the thing that matters. Notes come as a plain Note, a bordered Card, or a Callout whose tail you can aim anywhere.
Find itThe Insert button → Note or Callout. The note bar appears whenever a note is selected.
Thirteen shapesA note's own bar has the full set: Note, Card, Callout, Badge, Pill, Banner, Ribbon, Flag, Marker, Glass, Folder, Bookmark and Tape. Glass and tape are see-through and sit flat on the board; the rest lift off it.
Use itType, then drag a corner to resize. Set colour, bold/italic, alignment and text size; pick a shape from the note bar's Shape button; and drag a callout's tail to point.
