So I'm going to say Okay and there you can see the new Smart Folder. So let's say we want to have a Smart Folder with all of the beta tags in it. So you can create a new Smart Folder and the Smart Folder is going to refer to a tag. You can select more than one tag and you'll see the notes that you use both those tags. You can select a tag and just see the notes that use that tag. Then it will have tags applied and you could see your Tags right here. You can put that anywhere you want in the note. So you can go into a note like this and add a Tag just by typing the hash or pound symbol and then a Tag after it. You can easily drag the folder back out to take it out of that folder.īut another way to organize your Notes is by Tags. So you can take a folder like this, drop it into a folder, and then you've got subfolders here. One of the things most people don't realize you can do with folders is you can put them inside each other. So if you move a note from one folder to another it won't be in that first folder anymore. Notes can only be in one folder at a time. You can create your own folders here to put your notes in. Now with Folders here you're going to have all iCloud which is going to show you all your Notes. Pinned notes at the top and then the rest of the notes here below it. Or you can Control Click, right click or two finger click in the trackpad on any note and choose Pin Note and that will move that one to the top and keep it there above all the other notes. You can select a note and then go to File and then Pin Note. But you can Pin notes to the top if you have an important one. It's a list and it's always going to be sorted in some way.

Now there's no way to put them in your own order. You can select it and easily change the sorting right there. So if you switch to one of these you'll also get this Menu here. Then you can choose Newest to Oldest or Oldest to Newest if you're using dates. Or you can manually choose Date Edited, Date Created, or by Title. You can choose the default which is Date Edited. When in List View you can Sort in various ways. So we can make the cards bigger or make them smaller to fit more of them on the screen. You can change the scale here by going to View and then Zoom In, Zoom Out or shift Command and then the period and comma. But you can also switch to the Gallery View like that to see them like this as little cards. There are actually two ways to view your notes. So to start let's look for some tips for organizing your Notes. Of course this also makes your notes available on your iPhone, iPad, and other Macs which makes it so much more useful. But to get all of these features you really need to be using iCloud to store your notes. You have the option to store them locally on your Mac or you can use another system like Goggle.
