How to Add Sticky Notes to Websites

What are Sticky Notes?

Sticky Notes let you add digital notes to web pages. They work just like real sticky notes that you would put on a document, except they stay attached to the webpage.

You can add titles, write content, and use different colors to organize your notes.

Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

• Students who want to take notes while reading online
• Researchers who need to annotate web articles
• Anyone who wants to save reminders on specific web pages
• People who learn better by writing things down
• Anyone who needs to organize information from websites

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.

Step 2: Go to the All Features Section

Open All Features in Helperbird.

Step 3: Find Sticky Note

Look through the list of features until you see Sticky note.

It has a note icon next to it.

Step 4: Create a Sticky Note

Click the plus (+) button next to Sticky note, labelled Create a new note.

If you do not see a plus button, sticky notes needs Helperbird Pro. On the free plan the row shows a Pro badge in place of the button. See what is Helperbird Pro.

A new sticky note appears on the page. Use Drag to move at the top to reposition it. With the handle focused, arrow keys move the note, Shift + arrow moves it farther, and Escape cancels a move.

Step 5: Customize Your Note

On your sticky note:

1. Click the Title field at the top and add a title for your note
2. Click in the text area below to write your note content
3. Choose a color from the palette at the bottom to change the note's appearance
4. Use Delete note (the X) only when you want to remove the note

You can create multiple sticky notes on the same page. Use different colors to organize them by category or priority.

Tip: Your sticky notes save as you type and appear again when you revisit the same webpage. Open Highlights & Notes to search your saved notes. If browser sync storage fills up, new notes remain on the current device.

Web sticky notes do not appear inside PDF Reader. Use PDF text boxes for comments in a PDF.
