Next, you’ll see three dots right next to the close icon. This is the Menu button. By clicking on this button, you can choose from a variety of colors for your note. Under the same menu, you’ll find a Delete note option. If you no longer need the note and want to erase it, you can click on this option and the note will be gone forever. Next to this, you’ll find another option called Notes list. We’ll save this for another chat later down this guide.
Moving on, at the bottom of every note, you’ll find a set of formatting options. These options help you make texts bold, write in italics, underline words, write strikethrough words, add bullet points, and finally, add images. Depending on your choice, you can choose these formatting options. There are some keyboard shortcuts for these as well but we’ll get to in later in this guide.

6. What is the Sticky Notes List and how to use it
The sticky notes list is another feature of the Sticky Notes. You can either access it from the menu of an open note or by pressing Ctrl + H with a note in focus. The Sticky Notes list is basically the hub for all your current Sticky Notes. The notes that are closed and open will appear in the Sticky Notes list except for any deleted/erased notes.
Although we do have multiple ways to creat new notes, you can also click on the + icon at the top-left side of the Sticky Notes list to create new notes. In order to open a note from the list of the Sticky Notes list, you simply have to double click on the note that you wish to open. If you right-click on any note from the list, you’ll also get the option to delete a note.
The Sticky Notes list also have a search box at the top of the list of notes. You can use this search box to search for a note that you can’t find by entering in a word or two that the particular note contains. Furthermore, you can click on the Settings icon at the top to access its settings. Under settings, you’ll find a few options that you can choose to enable or disable. Enable insights is one of these options and enabling it will turn on the useful content recognition feature in Sticky Notes.
7. What are Insights in Sticky Notes
Finally, what we have is the Insights in Sticky Notes. When you enable Insights in Sticky Notes, the tool will automatically recognise some commands, dates, and reminders. However, we did test this but the tool did fail to recognise reminders sometimes. An example when this feature works is if you type in a website domain and click enter. When you do this, the domain name will be underlined and shown as a link/URL. By clicking on it, the tool will give you an option to visit the site. The same happens when you type in a future date or words like tonight or tomorrow, although this didn’t work for us.
With that, we’re winding up today’s guide.
