# Add notes to Quick Access
**Quick Access** helps you reach your most important notes instantly from anywhere in UpNote. When you add a note to Quick Access, it appears in the **Quick Access section** of your sidebar, so you can open it without searching or navigating through notebooks.

Combine **Quick Access** with **Pin to Top** to keep your notes both visible in context and always one click away.
