# How do I write a note in the Junk Yard?

Click **New note** in the board's header (or press ⌥⇧N, or the **＋** in the curtain). A rich-text editor opens with bold, italic, underline, monospace for code, bullet and numbered lists, links and images — and ⌘B, ⌘I and ⌘U work as usual.

Save, and the note lands on the board as a scrap with your default lifetime. The editor is a floating panel you can move and resize while you write.
