# Move notes across notebooks

UpNote makes it easy to **move notes between notebooks**, helping you keep your content organized as your projects or ideas evolve. You can move one note at a time or multiple notes at once.

### On desktop <a href="#id-7540" id="id-7540"></a>

There are several ways to add or move notes between notebooks in UpNote, giving you flexibility to organize your notes quickly and efficiently.

#### 🖱️Drag and Drop

You can easily **drag and drop** notes from the note list into notebooks in the sidebar.

* By default, dragging a note to a notebook will **add** it to that notebook.
* If you prefer to **move** the note (instead of adding it to multiple notebooks), go to:\
  **Settings → General → Others → Drag notes to notebook → Move to notebook.**

#### 📘 Use the Notebook Icon

Another way to add or move a note is from the note editor:

1. Click the **Notebook icon** at the bottom-left corner of the note editor.
2. Select one or more notebooks to add your note to.
3. You can also open this pop-up using the shortcut **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + B**.

To remove a note from a notebook:

* Untick the current notebook from the list in the pop-up, or
* Click the **×** button on the notebook label directly in the note.

**Tip**: In the Add to Notebooks pop-up, you can type the first few letters of a notebook name in the search box to find it faster.

* Use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate between notebooks.
* Press Return/Enter to select or unselect a notebook.
  {% endhint %}

#### Move multiple notes at once

You can move or add multiple notes to notebooks at once to reorganize your workspace more efficiently.

* In the note list, hold the **Shift** or **Cmd/Ctrl** key to select multiple notes.
* Once selected, you can:
  * Drag and drop the notes into a notebook in the sidebar, **or**
  * Use the options in the right panel:
    * **Move to another notebook** – Moves all selected notes to the chosen notebook.
    * **Add to notebooks** – Adds the selected notes to additional notebooks, allowing you to organize them in more than one place.
