About Scene Notes - Sticky Notes
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
Scene Notes gives every scene its own infinite reference board, right inside the Unity Editor. Collect reference images, write notes and to-do lists, record a quick voice memo and sketch over screenshots without leaving Unity or losing track of which level they belong to.
Open it from Tools ▸ Scene Notes. The board follows the active scene and is saved as " Notes.asset" next to it, so it moves with the scene and goes into version control like any other asset.
Notes and tasks
Double-click anywhere to write. Notes support a practical subset of Markdown: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, code, links, bullet and numbered lists, quotes and rules. Write "- [ ]" to make a task and click its box to check it off. Each note with tasks gets a progress bar, and the toolbar counts every open task on the board. Six note colours, or plain text with no card for board titles.
References
Drag in textures and sprites, drop image files straight from your file explorer, or paste an image from the clipboard. Crop, flip, grayscale and native size are all non-destructive. Drop prefabs, materials, folders or GameObjects from the Hierarchy to get link cards: double-click to ping the asset or frame the object in the Scene view.
Audio and drawing
Record a voice memo from the microphone and it lands on the board as a clip with a waveform. Press D for pen mode, with four colours, three sizes and an eraser, and circle problems or sketch paths over your references.
Scene view pins
Pin a note to a GameObject or to a point in the level. The pin shows the note's title and task progress in the Scene view and follows the object. Click it to jump back to the note.
It feels like PureRef: pan, zoom around the cursor, marquee select, resize, Arrange to pack everything into tidy rows, and Frame to fit it all. Everything is undoable. It is editor-only, so nothing is added to your builds.
