Notes Management

VNote adopts notebooks-folders-notes hierarchy for notes management. A notebook corresponds to a directory in the file system, which is called Notebook Root Folder. Folders of a notebook correspond to directories within the Notebook Root Folder. Notes inside a folder corresponds to files within that directory.

VNote may use some index files to keep track of all the notes within a notebook, so it is recommended to manage your notes within VNote.

Migrate and Import A Notebook

With this, you could use VNote to edit and manage your notes, which will be synchronized by other trusted services, both at home and at work.

Import Files and Folders
