To edit the note, click the content area, then use the keyboard to add and remove content. The first line of the note holds the title. By default, this is populated with the text New Note # . You can change the title by clicking the line and using the keyboard to change the title. By default, focus is given to the content area upon creation of a new note, so you can immediately start editing the note without clicking the content area. For more information on formatting the contents of a note, see Section 11.5, Formatting Text in Notes.

Your note is saved automatically.

You can then organize the notes you create by linking related notes and ideas together. Fore more information, see Section 11.3, Linking Notes.
