Adding more notes to an object

Question

I have an object on my chart (e.g. process, diamond, etc). The text content I want visible for that shape does not fit into the shape. I want an easy way to add more text to that shape without enlarging the shape. I hate to use Visio as an example. I’m used to the annotation feature in their tool. Please see the screenshot below. The feature allows me to add a shape to my flow, give it a 1 or 2 word name, then use the annotation outside of the shape (yet connected via a line) to add more text

Hi ​@austinnextiva, adding on to what Huma shared above, I wanted to highlight ourNotes functionas well! Although it’s not like the annotation tool shown in your screenshot, it allows you to add notes to your shapes without cluttering the canvas.You might also find the comment function helpful for adding more information to your shapes as well.I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi ​@austinnextivaThere is nobuilt-in annotation tool with automatic leader lines as you expect.You can delegate this easily by adding a text box or callout shape near your main object and connecting it with a line or arrow.This allows you to keep your main shape concise while displaying additional notes clearly outside the shape.For consistency, you can style and group these elements together. If this feature is essential for your workflow, consider adding product feedback on thisProduct feedback | Communityfor review and consideration.Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!Thank you very much and have a great one!Warm regards
