Write notes and save passages into them

Why it matters

Step by step

1. 1

   Create a note

   Click Notes on the left rail, then New note. Type a title, then the body. Echoes saves as you type; there is no Save button.
2. 2

   Format it

   Use the bar above the text: bold, italic, strikethrough, code, heading, subheading, quote, bullet list, numbered list and checklist. Markdown works too: # for a heading, - for a bullet. Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+E give bold, italic and code.

3. 3

   Save a passage from a chat

   In a conversation, click the notebook icon in the toolbar (Select text to save it to a note). Select text. A Save to note card shows the passage and your notes: click one to add the passage, or New note to start one named after the chat.
4. 4

   Find and export notes

   Search notes searches the full text of your notes and shows the matching lines. The PDF icon above a note (Export as PDF) saves it as a PDF.

5. 5

   Delete a note

   Click the trash icon on a note. Undo appears for a few seconds, and deleted notes stay recoverable for 7 days.

Good to know

• Each saved passage keeps its formatting and ends with the name of the chat it came from.
• The highlighter and the notebook can't both be on in one tab. The highlight card has its own Save to note button.
• Notes are stored on this computer and don't sync to your other devices.
• Include notes in a handoff with the Notes row in Continue in.
