🗒 Got all your notes in order? ✉ What about your email?

You can actually sort the category by adding a number in the beginning (16:02)
For example:
1- Personal
2- Family
3- Work
After you do that google keep will automatically sort them.

Just started using Keep and thought I knew everything, but, again, you taught me something new! Thank, Scott!

[alexatigre]

This is a VERY well done tutorial! I am trying to decide if I want to use Google Keep, and this has been so informative for me. Well prepared, well scripted, well presented, well paced- just really well done! Thank you!

Thank you for the video - VERY HELPFUL!
Do you know how to do the following two things?...
(1) Is there a way to add another date field, other than the reminder? It appears Reminder simply will not let me change to a date BEFORE the present day, or go back to edit to an earlier day. I ask because I would love it if past/completed events can be put in as a new note - sort of a historical entry of a past appointment or completed event (seems like, if you "miss the boat" and do not enter ahead of time, you are out of luck there). It would just make the Keep app even more useful to add another "custom" date field.
(2) How do you somehow tell a date to jump onto your Google Calendar so it shows up there as well as in your Keep notes?
Thanks again!

Thanks Scott! I learned a few things from this well done video even though I have been using Notes for a couple of years now. I suspect that there are a few more things for me to learn yet!

How can I hide the picture(s) on top of the notes? Sometimes they are so big that the note takes a full page on my iPad.
I don't want to see the picture at first; I only want to see the picture when I open the note.

[aditya-garg]

Thanks for the video, how do I arrange notes on descending order of creation/edited date?

[mohsinfareed]

Thanks. This is a great well explained and clear tutorial. I enjoy all your creat videos and subjects.

[ardyth]

I use this for a shopping list, but I'm left handed so I end up moving items when I scroll with my left thumb on my phone. Is it possible to reverse that?

[miltonbrownrigg]

Thank you Scotty. One thing I would like to know is if Keep is secure?
Thanks as always for your helpful content. Greetings from Melbourne

[AnmolKhatriMusic]

Could you please help me with how to change font size in google keep ?

[mohammadkamelan]

Thanks for the Informative video
Do you guys know an offline application like Googlekeep with markdown support?

[zipadee]

is there a way in Google Keep, to list just the Titles of the notes without part of the contents of the note, to see more of them w/o scrolling down?
