Last updated 3 months ago

Using notebooks help you stay organized and easily refer to your notes of the same topic. Below are some quick ways you can use to reorganize your notes into different notebooks.

On desktop

There are a few ways you can use to add/move notes to notebooks.

First, you can simply drag and drop the note in the notes list to the notebook in the sidebar.

By default, dragging the notes to the notebook will add the notes to the notebook. If you want to move the note from one notebook to another (instead of adding to another notebook), go to Settings > General > Others > Drag notes to notebook > select the option Move to notebook.


Another way to add/move a note to the notebook is by clicking the Notebook icon at the bottom left of your note editor and selecting the notebooks you want to add your notes to, or use the shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B to open the Add to Notebooks pop up.

If you want to remove your note from the current notebook, you can untick the current notebook from the list of notebook in the pop up. Alternatively, the quicker way is to simply click on the x button at the notebook label.

You can also type the initial letters of the notebook you want to add in the search box and use the up/down arrow keys to move to the notebook, the hit the Return or Enter key to select/unselect the notebook.

Move multiple notes at once

If you want to move multiple notes into another notebook, you may select them simultaneously by holding the Shift and/or Cmd/Ctrl key, then drag the notes to the notebook in the sidebar, or select the options in the right pane:

  • To move to another notebook, select Move to another notebook option from the menu on the right panel.

  • To add to another notebook, select Add to notebooks. You will then be able reorganize your notes into different notebooks.

On mobile

On mobile apps, you can perform the same actions by tapping on the Notebooks icon at the bottom of the note editor.

If you want to move multiple notes at the same time, you can do so from the note list screen. Tap the ... button to select multiple notes and tap the Notebook button to add notes to other notebooks.
