Use categories to group related notes, such as Work, Recipes, or Travel. Choose All notes to return to the full list.
Create and use categories
- Open the Notes navigation and choose New category.
- Enter a category name and confirm it.
- To move an existing note, open its menu, select its current category, and choose the destination category.
On a desktop, you can also drag a note onto a category. Choose Uncategorized when a note should not belong to a named category. Categories correspond to folders within your Notes folder.
Rename a category
Use the category’s rename control and confirm the new name. This changes the organization of the notes in that category.
Mark favorites
Open a note’s menu and choose Add to favorites. A star identifies a favorite. Use Remove from favorites to remove the star; the note stays in its category.
Search
Use Search for notes to narrow the list. If the note may be in another category, use Find in all categories. Clear the search to return to browsing.
Deleting a category also deletes its notes
Read the confirmation before choosing Delete category: it includes the notes in that category. Move any notes you want to keep into another category first. For recovery options, see Sharing and Recovering Notes.
