4.5. Editing Notes
Ok, so before I start explaining how you can edit a note, I would like to first explain how 7 Sticky Notes works when it comes to handling the notes.
All notes have two states, the first (1) is the "locked" state. At this state the note can be moved, resized, and deleted but it cannot be edited. The second (2) state is the "under editing" state. You can easily recognize if a note is in this editing state, because the configuration window, where you can make all special customizations, is showed right on the side of the note, moving along every time the note moves.
This is how a note looks in both states:
The note is locked:

And now the note is being edited:

How to start editing a note?
You can edit a note either by either of the methods below:
(1) Clicking on it with the middle mouse button (easiest way)
(2) Double clicking it
(3) Pressing CTRL + E
(4) Using the menus/toolbars from the
Notes Manager
Once the note is in editing state, the note's "Configuration Window" is opened on its side, and you can customize everything about your note. Each one of the properties that you can change using the configuration window will be explained later in topic 4.7.2,
Configuration Pane.
Once you finished editing you note, you can save it, or discard all changes. To save the note, just click on the green "tick" button at the configuration window (showed at the image above), or press "CTRL + S" while at the body of the note for a quick shortcut. Otherwise, if you would like to cancel the editing, then just press the red "x" button at the configuration window, or press "CTRL + W" while at the body of the note for a quick shortcut, and all your changes will be discarded and the note's previous styles and configurations will be rolled back to the previous state.
Important Note! While you are editing your notes all your changes are saved
