Notebooks let you group related notes together. You can add a note to a notebook in the main window or in the note editing view.
You can add a note to a notebook from the main window or directly within a note.
To add a note to a notebook from the main window, do one of the following:
Drag the note(s) onto a notebook on the left using the mouse.
Click on a notebook, right-click in notes list and select New from the context menu. A new note will be created and added to the notebook.
As you type a note, you can add the note directly to an existing notebook using the Actions ▸ Notebook menu.
To remove a note from a notebook, use one of the following:
Move the note to Unfiled Notes in the main window.
Select the No Notebook option from the menu which appears when you press the Actions ▸ Notebook in an open note.
After you create a notebook, you can create a template for new notes that you create in that notebook.
In the main window, right click on a notebook and choose Open Template Note.
This will open a new template note. Any text typed in this note will appear in all notes created in this notebook.
For more, see Template Notes.
Deleting a notebook will not delete any of the notes which are currently inside the notebook. After you delete a notebook, its notes will not be associated with any notebook and will appear in Unfiled Notes in the main window.
To delete a notebook, go to the main window and do one of the following:
Right click on a notebook and choose Delete Notebook.
Remove all notes from a notebook. The notebook will be automatically removed the next time Gnote restarts.
Gnote has several special notebooks:
Active: notes that have been opened in the current Gnote session
All: all notes except templates
Important: notes marked as important
Unfiled: all notes that are not in a user-created notebook
