Rather than burying it inside the main note itself (which can make it hard to find the information), sub-notes allow information to be stored as a separate document, but within another note. In some cases, there is information that I'll probably only ever want to view as a sub-document of another note. If you've been using Evernote for a while, you probably know what I'm talking about here. The inevitable result is either (a) notebooks with far too many notes, (b) stacks holding an insane list of notebooks, or (c) both. People have been asking for this feature for years, and it blows my mind that we can still only create two-tiered folders (stacks with notebooks inside). I can think of two solutions under this subheading: Tags do offer a limited hierarchy, but it isn't very convenient in terms of how most people actually use the app. Whether the Evernote Team like it or not, hierarchical organisation is vital to keeping notes organised and easily accessible (insert Jordan Peterson joke here). When creating databases, there is usually a logical order for information to be presented in, so this feature is vital for researchers. The only way to manually arrange the order of notes is to put an alphabetical/numerical code at the start of the note title, but the moment you want to rearrange those notes, you have to go through and re-title everything by hand. drag-and-drop), as in OneNote, Scrivener, and virtually every other notetaking app. If any of the developers are reading, I hope you find these suggestions helpful:Ĭustom note order (i.e. However, in order for Evernote to survive going forward, I believe these five features are absolutely vital (and wouldn't take long to implement). With apps like Notion currently stealing the spotlight, Evernote needs to develop quickly indeed if it wants to maintain its user base.ĭespite the power of Notion, I haven't quite been willing to make the jump, primarily because of Evernote's magnificent search, web clipper, and offline functionality. Evernote is lagging several years behind the competition in terms of features, having made only minor incremental changes since I started using it.
