When to use

When you want to make modifications to several Notes at once.

Instructions

Select the Notes you want to perform the same action with.  You will see the selected Notes fanned out on the right hand side.

Right below the Notes you will see different actions you can perform with selected Notes:

  • Share the Notes
  • Move to Notebook
  • Add tags
  • Create table of contents Note (the coolest feature ever!!)
  • Merge
  • Save attachements (if the Notes carry attachments) 
  • Start presentation (premium feature)
  • 00:05 In the previous lessons,
  • 00:06 we looked at different actions that you can perform with a single note.
  • 00:12 So now, let's look at what actions you can perform with multiple notes.
  • 00:18 So if you have a number of notes that you want to perform actions with,
  • 00:22 select them and you will see them fanned out on the right-hand side.
  • 00:27 Right below it, you will see different options.
  • 00:31 You can certainly share your notes and for that, hit share notes, enter the name or
  • 00:37 email address of the person you want to share these notes with and hit share.
  • 00:42 And the same way you can move them to a different notebook.
  • 00:46 If you hit move notebook,
  • 00:48 a window will open up which will list all your notebooks.
  • 00:52 So you get to choose which notebook that you want to move these notes to.
  • 00:58 You can add one or several tags to all these notes at once.
  • 01:04 And you can also get to create a table of contents.
  • 01:08 So, this is a pretty cool feature because with just a click of a button it creates
  • 01:13 a note for you with shortcuts to each individual note.
  • 01:19 What you can also do when you select a number of notes
  • 01:25 is you can go to Note and perform similar actions from here as well.
  • 01:30 For example, you can move them to a different notebook.
  • 01:34 You can copy them to a different notebook.
  • 01:37 You can merge them or delete them.
  • 01:40 Also if you select the notes and then right click,
  • 01:44 you have a number of options that you have from the drop-down menu here,
  • 01:49 which are very much the same options.
  • 01:52 So you can see that you can perform different actions with not just one note,
  • 01:57 but several notes at once.
