# Create sticky notes

## Learn the different ways how to create sticky notes in Collaboard.

You can create sticky notes in Collaboard in several ways. The main option is via the left toolbar.

Collaboard provides two types of sticky notes:

- square
- rectangular

From the left toolbar, you can choose to create **1, 5, or 10 sticky notes** at once. After selecting this option, your mouse pointer turns into a sticky note and you can place it anywhere on the whiteboard.

You can choose from **19 predefined colors** to visually organize and structure your content.

### Additional ways to create sticky notes

**Drag & drop from the color menu**  
Drag a sticky note in the selected color directly from the color menu onto the board.

 

**Use the TAB key**  
If a sticky note already exists, select it and press **TAB** to create a new sticky note next to it.

 

**Copy and paste from a table**  
You can copy content from a table (for example Excel) and paste it onto the board to create sticky notes automatically:

- Each cell with text becomes a sticky note containing that text.
- Empty cells create empty sticky notes.
