Editing annotations on a message flow or node
After you have added an annotation
to a message flow or node, in the form of a sticky note, you can edit
the contents of that note.
You can add annotations to message
flows or nodes to create reminders, or record details about message
flow development. For example, you might want to add a list of modifications
that need to be made to a message flow. As you complete the modifications,
you might want to edit the annotation to reflect progress. The following
steps describe how to edit an annotation.
- Editing the content of a note
- In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow that
contains the note that you want to edit.
- To put the note into editing mode, click the text of
the note. The note changes color, acquires a blue
border, and a cursor appears.
- Edit the content of the note. You can use
standard cut, copy, and paste operations.
- To exit editing mode, click the canvas outside the note. The note resizes according to the amount of text that
you enter.
- To save the contents of the note, save the message flow.
- Moving a sticky note
- To move a sticky note, click inside the note (not on the text)
so that black dots appear at each corner. You can now drag the note
to a new position on the canvas. If the note is associated with one
or more nodes, the association line also moves.
- You can also move a sticky note by using cut and paste operations.
Right-click the note, click Cut, right-click
the canvas where you want the note to appear, and click Paste.
- Changing the association of a sticky note
- To associate a sticky note with a different node, move the mouse
pointer over the old node, click the end of the association line,
hold down the mouse button, then drag the association line to the
new node. When you release the mouse button, the sticky note is associated
with the new node, as indicated by a dotted line.
- To associate a node with a different sticky note, move the mouse
pointer over the old sticky note, click the end of the association
line, hold down the mouse button, then drag the association line to
the new sticky note. When you release the mouse button, the node is
associated with the new sticky note, as indicated by a dotted line.
