Features

Viewport Notes​

Place Notes in 3D Space​

Right-click anywhere in the Viewport to place a sticky note at that exact world location. The note appears as a colored card floating above the position with a visual connector line showing its anchor point.

Visual Indicators​

  • Color-coded categories: TODO (blue), BUG (red), INFO (yellow), REMINDER (green)
  • Priority badges: Visual indicators for Low, Medium, High priority
  • Connector lines: Show exact placement in 3D space
  • Editor-only option: Hide notes during Play-In-Editor for clean testing

Context Preservation​

Notes stay exactly where you placed them. When you return to that area weeks later, your note is still there reminding you what needs to be done.

Blueprint Notes​

Attach to Specific Nodes​

Right-click any Blueprint node to attach a note directly to it. The note is linked to that specific node via GUID, so even if you move or reorganize your Blueprint, the note stays attached.

Jump to Blueprint​

Click any Blueprint note in the Overview Panel and it will:

  1. Open the Blueprint Editor
  2. Navigate to the exact graph
  3. Focus on the specific node
  4. Highlight the note for you

Perfect for tracking complex logic issues or marking nodes that need refactoring.

Quick Notes uses error codes (QN-100 to QN-700) for easy troubleshooting:

  • QN-100 series: Initialization and setup

  • QN-700 series: UI and rendering

If something goes wrong, check the Output Log for the error code and share it with support for instant diagnosis.

Performance & Runtime​

Zero Runtime Impact​

Quick Notes is editor-only. The plugin:

  • Does not load in packaged builds
  • Has no runtime performance cost
  • Is completely stripped from shipping builds
  • Uses no memory in your final game

Efficient in Editor​

  • Notes update only when edited
  • Minimal viewport rendering cost
  • No frame rate impact during normal work
  • Efficient data storage

Data Management​

Local Storage​

All notes are stored locally in your project:

  • No cloud dependencies
  • No network calls
  • Fast and reliable
  • Private and secure

Version Control​

By default, note data is not included in version control. This is intentional - notes are personal workflow tools. If you want to share notes with your team, use the export functionality.
