Before you start

Who this is for

Anyone with more than a handful of notes.

Before you start

  • A few notes to organise, or an idea of the notebooks you want.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Create a notebook

    Choose New notebook in the side menu and name it — for example Clients, Filings or Personal.

  2. Step 2: Nest notebooks (optional)

    Put a notebook inside another to make sections, such as one notebook per client inside Clients.

  3. Step 3: Move a note in

    Open a note and choose Move to notebook. A note lives in one notebook at a time.

  4. Step 4: Give it a colour and icon

    Use Colour and icon… on the notebook so it is easy to spot.

What happens next

Your notebooks appear in the side menu, and opening one shows only the notes inside it.

Questions

If I delete a notebook, do I lose its notes?

No. Deleting a notebook removes the container; everything inside it is kept.

A note belongs in two places. What do I do?

Use tags or a smart folder — a note can have many tags and appear in several smart folders at once.
