Note Links

Quick reference

• 00:04 In this lesson we are going to talk about note links,
• 00:08 different types of links, and their uses.
• 00:13 There are two different types of links that you can grab for every Evernote note.
• 00:17 There is a note link and there is a public link.
• 00:21 Note link is the internal link.
• 00:24 It's used for cross referencing notes in the same Evernote account.
• 00:29 And public link is the external link, it's used when you want to give access
• 00:35 to a note to groups of people or somebody who might not have an Evernote account.
• 00:42 So let me show you how you could use each one of the types.
• 00:47 First, Note Link.
• 00:49 When you want to grab a Note Link, just select the note that you want to
• 00:54 grab that link for, right click and select Copy Note Link from the dropdown menu.
• 01:01 You can do the same if you go to Note on your main menu, Copy Note Link.
• 01:07 If you paste that link outside of your Evernote,
• 01:11 you will notice that it's a long and unappealing link.
• 01:14 However, if you paste it in another note, what you will have,
• 01:19 a quick shortcut to that note.
• 01:23 And the link itself will be the title of the note.
• 01:26 So, this allows you to cross reference your notes very easily.
• 01:31 Or in my case move from note to note seamlessly
• 01:36 if you want to keep your notes in a specific order.
• 01:40 So this, what I've done with this course, so every time I move to the next lesson,
• 01:46 all I need to do is click this link versus going and
• 01:50 looking for the right note in the middle pane.
• 01:54 When you want to grab a public link, you come to your note,
• 01:58 right click, and then go More Sharing.
• 02:01 From here, you will Copy your Public Link.
• 02:05 Again, an alternative way is to go to
• 02:08 Note > More Sharing > Copy Public Link from the main menu.
• 02:13 This is an external link, so whenever somebody clicks on it, regardless if they
• 02:18 have an Evernote account or not, they will be taken to their web browser.
• 02:24 And they will see something like this.
• 02:28 If that person has an Evernote account they will have an option to save that note
• 02:33 to Evernote.
• 02:34 But again, the contents of the notes will be accessible to just about anybody.
• 02:41 So note links, as I've mentioned, are very handy when you want
• 02:46 to cross reference your notes, or share your notes with others.
• 02:52 Play with this option because it will allow you to create
• 02:55 better internal structure for your notes.
• 02:57 But also easily share information without having to save it
• 03:02 externally to share it with somebody else.
