Sketch freehand, or let it snap to shape
Grab the Pencil, or press F, and draw freehand straight on the canvas; strokes pick up the tab's theme like everything else. Switch on shape recognition and a rough rectangle, circle, diamond, or line becomes a clean shape the moment you lift the pen.
Rich text in any label
Style text right where you type it: bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough, with per-word colours and sizes and bullet or numbered lists. Select a run and a floating toolbar formats just that part, so a label reads exactly how you mean it.
Notes on any element
Pin a note to any shape for the context that should not clutter the canvas. It travels with the element and opens when you need it.
