Notes and folders

Reorder and move notes

Drag notes and folders into your own order, or into another folder.

What it is for

Alphabetical order and date order are rarely the order you think in. Dragging lets the note you need every day sit at the top, and the folder you are working in sit first.

How to use it

  1. Hover a note or folder to reveal the grip handle (⠿) on its left, then drag it up or down. It reorders within the same level.
  2. To move a note into a folder, drag it onto the folder.
  3. Or right-click the note → Move file to... and choose a folder, or No folder. A tick marks where it is now.
  4. Folders move the same way: right-click → Move folder to... and pick a folder or Top level.
  5. On a phone or tablet, press and hold the handle for a moment before dragging.

Example

Today's notes on top

Drag this week's planning note to the top of its folder so it is the first thing you see, then drag it back down on Friday.

Good to know

  • Your order is saved to your account and is the same on every device.
  • A folder cannot be moved inside itself or inside one of its own subfolders, so those choices are not offered.
