Manage notes
When you have more notes, first create easy-to-understand categories and then organize them as needed. Folders can hold different types of documents without having to create a separate directory for each editor.
Create folders by topic
Create folders by course, project, or purpose. Give the document a clear name and move it to the appropriate location; if you need to keep the original, make a copy first.
Step-by-step guides:
Quickly find frequently used notes
Add frequently used documents to your favorites to reduce repeated searching. You can also sort by date, name or type, filter by type, or drag files under Custom Sort to adjust the order.
Step-by-step guides:
- Browse, sort, and filter documents
- Search names and use Favorites
- Switch between recent documents
- Use document and location links
Distinguish between file names and in-text search
Library search looks for document names and are suitable for finding a course, a project, or a known note. Giving your document a clear name will make it easier to find it.
To find content in the text, you need to open the document first and then use the in-text search of the corresponding editor. The search scopes of PDF content, handwriting and text, and Text document body text are different. For details, see Navigation and review.
Step-by-step guides:
- Search names and use Favorites
- Search PDF text, typed notes, and handwriting
- Navigate, zoom, and search an Infinite or Vertical canvas
- Find and replace text
Organize multiple documents at once
Batch operations are suitable for moving, duplicating, favoriting, or sharing a group of documents. If you need to keep different versions, you can copy the document and continue to modify it. Review the selection before moving or moving it to the Trash.
Step-by-step guides:
Document Lock and Trash
After adding a lock to a document, you need to unlock it when opening it. Documents accidentally moved to the Trash can be recovered in the Trash; before permanent deletion, you should confirm the original and the copies you need to keep.
Next, you can learn Import, Export and Share.
