This may be a silly question, but I couldn’t find an answer in the database.
In UDK you could add notes in your levels. I use them a lot to communicate design tasks when handing off to another team member, but I also use them for myself as a kind of sticky note to remind me of an element or task I need to come back to. Is there a similar type of actor in UE4? Ideally I need the ability to not only place it where I want in a level but it also has to allow me to type out a note that can be refereed to at a later time. In my example I used the term sticky note.
A virtual sticky note system could be a cool thing. In fact, it might even be cool to create an interface for this system for usability purposes. I envision an option in the view menu that would turn on or off sticky notes. When turned on the right side of your viewport has a list of current unresolved sticky notes, like a quest tracker UI in a MMORPG.
I’m liking this idea more and more while I type. Devs can contact my patent lawyer for licensing terms. 
Anyway, my question might have crossed into a feature request.
Thanks
This is a cool idea! I wonder if there is already a way to do this- well, like of course there is, but I wonder what the simplest way is with the current build? Maybe using the layers and some null actor…?
Hello,
You can find a “Note” asset in your Classes folder that can be placed and given a brief text. Please let me know if that does not do everything you need it to.
I have created a feature request for a “To-Do” list that is populated by Notes and can be prioritized. Please let us know if there is anything else that would improve workflow.
Cheers,
Alexander

Until (and if) my feature request becomes a reality in the editor it would be super cool if the text section of the current notes actor was a block paragraph size and not a single line. Currently very difficult to read a note with such a small field.
In the request I filed, I have made sure to reference this post so that the developers can easily locate your request information about expanding the note’s text field. I agree that allowing Notes to easily display more text would be beneficial to workflow, so I will be following it personally. Thank you for your requests.
There is a note that exists- You can search for note in the tools panel (all content selected) or in the content browser (In the classes folder) Doesn’t seem to be very good for holding any more then a sentence or two.
