Sticky Notes are great for quick brainstorming, taking notes and arranging information visually. If you are familiar with Kanban boards or other techniques that involve putting stickies on a whiteboard, you will feel right at home.
Getting started
Click the Sticky Note icon on the toolbar or press N on your keyboard to enable the tool. You can also add a sticky note by dragging and dropping it right from the toolbar or by clicking anywhere on the board and dragging your cursor holding the left mouse button.
If you use the smallest font size, it is possible to enter about 350 symbols in a square note and about 700 symbols in a rectangular note.
Double-click anywhere on the board to add text, stickies or shapes. The previous object that you've used will appear on the board.
Bulk Mode
To add a bunch of stickies in a row, click the Sticky Note icon, choose Bulk Mode and start typing away. Hit Enter to separate ideas. The limit of symbols depends on the font size. Click Done, when you finish, and your ideas will be added to the board as stickies.

Pasting from a spreadsheet
You can also copy data from any spreadsheet and paste it on the board as a cluster of stickies, where each sticky note represents a single cell. Just copy and paste cells from the spreadsheet using Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (Cmd+C / Cmd+V) shortcuts to import them to the board. Please note, that the maximum number of cells that you can paste at a time is 625.
