Organizing and finding your notes
Folders, moving notes, multi-select, sorting, search and trash.
In one sentence
The “My Notes” panel groups folders, sorting, search and trash.
Creating and managing folders
- To create a folder, click “Folder”, enter its name and confirm with Enter or “OK”.
- The folder’s “...” menu lets you create a subfolder, rename, move or delete. The “+” creates a note inside that folder.
- Folders nest up to 5 levels deep.
“Folder only (notes to root)” keeps the notes. “Delete everything (folder + notes)” also deletes them.
Filing a note
- Drag the note onto a folder, or onto the “Root” area that appears at the top of the list to move it outside folders.
- Choose “Move to” in the ⋮ menu, or “Options” on the card then “Move note”. Select a folder in the window, using search if needed.
Acting on several notes
Click “Select”, tick the notes, then choose “Move to folder” or “Move to trash”. “Deselect” clears the selection and “Done” leaves this mode.
Sorting and searching
To the right of “Search...”, sort by date or alphabetically, in either direction.
Search covers titles and content on your device only, without sending a request to the server.
Search uses all the words you type, without automatic typo correction. It does not scan folder names. For a very long note, only the first 20,000 content characters are indexed, as well as the title. Notes in the trash are not included.
The trash
Open “Trash” at the bottom of the panel to see deleted notes and the delay before permanent deletion. Trash appears when it contains a note and does not replace a backup.
- “Restore” puts the note back in the list.
- “Delete permanently” erases the note after confirmation, with no way back.
- “Empty trash” permanently erases every note it contains, after confirmation.
