To quickly create a new note from the template, click the New note from this template button in the top bar of the template editor.

Create templates with custom date and time

For meeting notes or daily journals, it’s common to insert a date into your note. Simply type {{date}}, {{time}}, {{datetime}} … in the template, and when a template is selected, UpNote will automatically replace the date and time with the current time.

You can customize your date/time formats in your template with date and time tags.

If you want the date format to be like "Monday - Jan 02 2023", you can type {{EEEE}} - {{MM}}{{DD}} {{YYYY}}

Check out this table for all available date and time formats.

Write from a template

When you create a new note, you can choose to write from the saved templates. After a template is selected, the editor will populate the template content and you can start writing right away.

Tap/click select from Templates in the new note prompt:

Or type /temp to insert the template anywhere in your note.
