Notes
Arcweave's notes are simple, flexible sticky textboxes you can place on your boards to jot down ideas, instructions, or reminders.
They're great for organizing your thoughts, leaving comments for teammates, or planning what comes next, without affecting your story's flow.
Notes share some features with elements:
Notes differ from elements in the following aspects:
- ❌ They do not have a title field.
- ❌ They are not part of the flowchart and cannot have connections.
- ❌ They cannot take components as attachments.
- ❌ They cannot contain blockquotes or arcscript.

- Right-click on an empty area of the current board and select Create > Note.
