Can I add notes, images or files to the Junk Yard myself?

Q: Can I add notes, images or files to the Junk Yard myself?

Yes. The board's header has three buttons: New note opens a rich-text editor, Add image opens an image editor, and Embed file drops a file reference onto the board. You can also start a note from anywhere with the New note shortcut (⌥⇧N by default), or from the ＋ in the curtain. Everything you add follows the same rules as captured scraps — it has a lifetime, and you can pin, colour and search it. See How do I write a note in the Junk Yard?

Short answer: Yes. Use New note, Add image or Embed file in the Junk Yard header, the New note shortcut (⌥⇧N by default), or the ＋ in the curtain.
