# Working with flips: the basics

Use shapes, sticky notes and arrows to add a business process or a flowchart to a flip or to describe a case. Sticky notes are also handy for notes.

All the tools for creating objects are at the bottom of the workspace: select a tool and add an object to the flip. To **quickly add a sticky note** to a flip, double-click an empty spot in the workspace.

### Working with objects

Objects added to a flip can be **copied, pasted, duplicated, cut** and **deleted**, as well as **brought to the front or sent to the back** (forward and backward) — just right-click the object (or a selected group of objects) and choose what you want to do.

To **resize** an object, click it and drag its edge.
To **keep the object's proportions**, hold down Shift while dragging the edge.

You can **connect** objects to each other: click the dot next to one of the objects and drag it to another one:

To **create a new object of the same type**, drag one of the dots around an object and release it in an empty spot:

For **sticky notes and shapes**, you can choose the **color, font and font size, and set the text alignment and style**.

For shapes, you can also choose the text color and the outline, its color and style, and you can add an emoji 😎 to a sticky note.
