Just created my first board but can't seem to figure out how to make a rectangular sticky note - every time I resize the aspect ratio is locked to square.

Hi Andy thanks for posting in the community! Unfortunately at this time the aspect ratio of our sticky notes is locked and it is not possible to resize them to be rectangular. However I certainly understand how more flexibility for resizing would be useful. Would you mind adding your thoughts to this product feedback space? Ideas discussed here are passed directly onto our development team for their consideration. As a workaround if the rectangular shape is crucial I recommend resizing one of the other regular shapes available in Lucidspark to suit your needs.

If anyone else is working with shapes in Lucidspark please begin by reviewing our Create Format and Style Shapes article and post any additional questions below! 


I'm with Andy on this one. Rectangular resizeable post it notes would be very useful. I was very surprised when this didn't happen by default.

Yes I can just create another shape (and will do) but I was surprised and it's cost me ten minutes (at least).

I will also add it as a Feature Request Form (again another ten minutes).

Hi @jonathan s102 thanks for continuing this post and sharing the feedback. I can certainly see how the option to resize sticky notes would be useful for different use-case. I've gone ahead and logged your feature request internally as well.

Thank you again for your request and taking the time to share your thoughts - we really appreciate it! If there are any other users who would also like to see this option in Lucid we encourage you to submit a feature request or share your ideas in the community!


Backing up both Andy and Jonathan

I would also like to be able to adjust the height of the sticky note without changing the width. So add my name to the list. It would be very useful.

Thanks

Justin


Hi Justin

Thanks for chiming in!

Could you please add your opinion to this feature request form? This is the easiest and fastest way for your voice to be heard by our Product Development Team. Thank you!


Reading Do sticky notes now have to be square? I find that I can unlock the sticky note’s Aspect Ratio and then make it rectangular! Whew! Nice.


Hi ​@Scott Welker, thanks so much for adding to this thread!

You’re absolutely correct - I’m glad you found that post for updated information! Since this post, there have been some updates and you can change the dimensions of a sticky note by navigating to Shape options > then selecting on the padlock between ‘width’ and ‘height’ to unlock the aspect ratio and shape the sticky note how you’d like. You can always re-select this lock to re-lock the aspect ratio.
