Arrange notes with drag and drop

Reorder notes, select several at once, and use keyboard shortcuts.

Reorder

Drag a card to where you want it and let go. The order is saved and stays the same on every device. On a phone, press and hold a card, then move your finger. Near the top or bottom of the screen the list scrolls for you.

You can also drag a note onto a label, Archive or Trash in the sidebar.

Inside a checklist, drag the handle next to an item to move it.

Select several notes

Hover over a card and choose the tick in its corner, or hold Shift and click to select a run of notes. On a phone, press and hold a card. The bar at the top can then pin, colour, label, archive, copy or delete them all together.

On a phone

Swipe a card sideways to archive it. Every change you make this way can be undone from the message at the bottom.

Grid or list

Use the view button at the top right to switch between the grid and a single column.

  • e archive, # delete, f pin
