Notes: a quick start
Notes, called Notities in the workplace, is the place for loose thoughts, meeting notes and knowledge. Everything is saved while you type, and everything is searchable.
Status: live. Notes is available to members of an organisation.
Step by step
Open Notes
Choose Notes (Notities) in the workplace sidebar. On the left are All notes and Recent (Alle notities, Recent), in the middle the list and on the right the editor. On a phone you see one panel at a time and the arrow Back to the list (Terug naar de lijst) takes you back.Create your first note
Click New note (Nieuwe notitie). If you do not have any notes yet, the workplace suggests a start: Call note, Meeting or To-do list (Belnotitie, Overleg, Takenlijst). One click creates a real note with that title.Give it a title and type
Fill in the field Note title (Titel van de notitie) and type below it. You do not have to save: at the top you first see Saving and then Saved (Opslaan, Opgeslagen). If it fails, it says Not saved, try again (Niet opgeslagen, opnieuw proberen).Format your text
The Formatting bar (Opmaak) has Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Code, Heading 1 to Heading 3, Bulleted list, Numbered list, Quote, Link, Undo and Redo. Below the editor you see the number of words.Search and filter
Type a word from the title or the text in Search notes (Zoeken in notities). The counter shows, for example, 3 of 12. If folders or labels exist, they appear on the left under Folders and Labels (Mappen, Labels) and you filter the list with one click.Share a note with a colleague
Click the share icon (Share, Delen) above the editor. Under Colleague (Collega) choose a colleague, decide with Read (view only), Edit or Manage (Lezen, Bewerken, Beheer) what that person may do, and click Add (Toevoegen). With Revoke access (Toegang intrekken) you remove someone again. Direct link (Directe link) copies the address of the note, but only works for people who have access.Restore an earlier version
Click the clock arrow icon (Versions, Versies). In Version history (Versiegeschiedenis) you choose one of the Saved versions on the left and read a preview on the right. Click Restore this version (Deze versie terugzetten) and confirm with Restore (Terugzetten). The current text is saved first, so you can undo this yourself as well.Delete a note
Click the trash icon (Delete, Verwijderen) and confirm with Delete. A deleted note is gone for good.

If it does not work
Access to a shared note
If, as a guest, you expect access to a shared note, ask the host.
The history does not open
Your last change must be saved first. Wait until it says Saved and click Versions again.
A colleague cannot be added
Have your colleague sign in first and then add them. If it says you do not have the rights to share, ask the person with Manage on the note.
