The notepad is somewhere to jot a thought down before it gets away. It has no title, no Save button and nothing to decide: open it, type, close it. Only you can see it.
Open the notepad
- Press ⌘K on Mac, or Ctrl+K on Windows, to open the command palette.
- Choose Notepad. It sits at the top of the palette under Pinned, so it's there before you type anything. You can also type "note" to find it.
- Start typing. The cursor lands at the end of what you've already written.
- Choose Back to return to the palette's list.
Write in it
The notepad saves as you type, including when you close the palette mid-sentence.
- Press / to add a heading, list, Task list or other block.
- Use the toolbar or the usual shortcuts for bold (⌘B or Ctrl+B), italic (⌘I or Ctrl+I) and underline (⌘U or Ctrl+U).
Take it out of the pinned list
The notepad is pinned for everyone to start with. If you'd rather it wasn't:
- Open the command palette and highlight Notepad.
- Press → to show its actions.
- Choose Unpin.
You can still find it by typing "notepad". Pin it again the same way, choosing Pin.
Good to know
- You have a separate notepad in each organisation you belong to. Switching organisation opens that organisation's note.
- Nobody else in your organisation can read your notepad, whatever their role.
- To keep things private, the notepad leaves out anything that points at other records or people: no @mentions, no images or file attachments, and no links to docs, tasks, projects, contacts or deals. When something's ready to share, move it into a doc or a task.
- The notepad doesn't count towards the 5 things you can pin in the palette.
