Showing notes
When a note is hidden, you can "unhide," or show, the note to make it reappear on the screen. To show a note or notes, click the "Show…" item on the "Stickies" menu of the StickyNote main menu. The Show dialog will appear.
Using this Show dialog, you can show one or more notes. Select the notes you would like to show, and click the "Show selection" button. Or, click the "Show all" button to show all your hidden notes. When you are done using the Show dialog, click the "OK" button.
If you try to show a note which has been password protected, you will be prompted for the password of that note. The note will remain hidden until you successfully enter the note's password. The note's title will be displayed in the titlebar of the password protection box, so that you can identify which password is applicable.
