You can add notes to a project board to serve as task reminders or to add information related to the project board.
Tips:
- You can format your note using Markdown syntax. For example, you can use headings, links, task lists, or emoji. For more information, see "Basic writing and formatting syntax."
You can drag and drop or use keyboard shortcuts to reorder notes and move them between columns. For more information about keyboard shortcuts, see "Project boards" in "Using keyboard shortcuts."
Your project board must have at least one column before you can add notes. For more information, see "Creating a project board."
When you add a URL for an issue or pull request to a note, you'll see a preview in a summary card below your text.

Converting a note to an issue
If you've created a note and find that it isn't sufficient for your needs, you can convert it to an issue.

Tip: You can add content in the body of your note to @mention someone, link to another issue or pull request, and add emoji. These GitHub Flavored Markdown features aren't supported within project board notes, but once your note is converted to an issue, they'll appear correctly. For more information on using these features, see "About writing and formatting on GitHub."
