3 Evernote Features that will Make Your Day

[@chenkeith7272]

If you come across an article on the web, can I use the web clipper to clip the article as a PDF as I don't see an option for that.

[@greytemp]

I like your presentations. Clear and concise.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

I can’t believe the removed “presentation mode” in the new update.

[@dottotech]

Have you watched my most recent Evernote Update video yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6OtmJmgo72Kis0

[@thekettlebellcoach]

@@dottotech started but haven’t finished. Thanks.

[@danheinze4177]

ALL Evernote data is encrypted until it gets to your devices.

[@Timber-Wolf]

Without true encryption and Notebook security, I can still only use Evernote for shopping lists and casual info...they really need to address this.

[@dottotech]

Mindrover Powell A lot of people agree with you!

[@MatthiasBuesing]

Great as always, I really love your videos! :-) Didn't know the possibility to create a table of content for the notes - great thing. Unfortunately this table of content isn't dynamic so if you add further notes you have re-create the table of content. Still a great feature!

[@ErikJan4]

The present function is not available for Android... Very disappointing.

[@josedelaguerra3688]

Hello Sir... how can you merge two or more notes in IPad? Thanks in advance!

[@johnexum2699]

Do you know if there is a way to screen grab something directly into an EXISTING note, one that's already saved? I'm using a MacBook Pro.

[@td-tv2862]

We would love a show on your production process its really well done.

[@SteveB357]

Are you likely to take a look at One Note? I'm retired, on a small pension, and in the US, we may have some ugly health care cost increases soon. I can't afford to pay Evernote and the rent.

[@AdminTuber]

you didnt even show what it looks like after encryption ...

[@frankminogue9345]

Is there a way to make a note or notebook to be in the cloud just until it has been synced across all your devices. Then make it local on all the devices. That way you could save some info that you might not be updating on a regular basis on all the devices but it's not in the cloud that could be hacked.

[@lulusplannerlifegmz1202]

forgot to mention this tips are for premium only not on the FREE VERSION. i was not able to use these tips.

[@DanielUmanskyTheLifePro]

Table of contents!...one of the BEST tips EVAH!

[@tonyah192]

When you create a table of contents. When you enter another note does it automatically put it order?

[@DrFendiShareChannel]

Hi, can you share how to make this amazing video? what kind of video software you are using. Tq

[@dottotech]

mohd afandi md amin I have a short video on how I do it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHm4e5p-rs6reJo And I also have an online course you can check out at my website, if you are interested.

[@johnmccreery7550]

Does this work in Evernote for iOS?

[@steadyhikr]

I'm trying to build a table of contents according to your instructions but I don't know what's meant by click on multi-select.

[@seifeldin94]

If you're on a computer, press Ctrl then each of the notes

[@worshipiano247]

Great presentation as always, dotto

[@dottotech]

worshipiano247 :-) thanks!

[@timowthie]

I'll just save the pass phrase in an evernote notebook. lol.

[@johnnyphan8964]

Thank you for the tips sir.

[@SpecialNeedsAcademy]

dottotech Where can I find the link within my evernote account I need to provide people so that if they purchase or upgrade evernote based on my referral, I can get credit on my Evernote account? Thank you.

[@dottotech]

Our Special Needs Children (p) try evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/25068416

[@SpecialNeedsAcademy]

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

[@Kyle4k9]

Thank you, Steve. I agree with the comments about security. I'd like 2 factor authentication. But I think Evernote's problems may run deeper than the fact that customers want common features and the company isn't listening. First the CEO was changed, then layoffs and cancellation of ancillary projects. All this adds up to make me worry that Evernote will continue to exist. Any insight to share about the future of Evernote?

[@dottotech]

+Kyle Kimberlin Actually I was encouraged by Evernote cancelling the fringe projects, I think they needed to refocus on their core business. The CEO change does not concern me nor do the layoffs, which can be attributed to the discontinued initiatives. I do however remain concerned about how well Evernote LISTENS to their user base.

[@LeahWeintraub]

Steve, you're the best. I am a magazine publisher and just did a Happy Dance with the Table of Contents creation I just learned from you. Thank YOU!

[@dottotech]

Leah Weintraub :-) Happy dances are good!

[@JohnMarshall-yc2vt]

I wish Evernote would incorporate some sort of filter system like Todoist has. I love how Todoist allows us to filter tasks by using specific words. For example, I have a filter called "Due" and Amy task that has "due:" in it, automatically shows up in the "Due" filter. Evernote has tags but tagging notes is something ain't nobody got time for.

[@dottotech]

John Marshall LOL I think that is exactly what Evernote should recommend, use tags!

[@gurmitsinghuk]

Your presentations are great Steve and have learnt a lot, thanks! Just wanted to know what software you use to create these videos - it looks cool with you giving the description and the content in the backdrop!

[@dottotech]

I have a video series on how I make the videos, kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_QhYOZnt6ihs0

[@gurmitsinghuk]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@MikeM91320]

Hi Steve, have you tried the new evernote jot stylus? If so, how do you like it? I use evernote a lot and am considering a purchase of the new stylus and using with penultimate. Any other recommendations? Thank you.

[@dottotech]

Michael McGuire I am using one of the older Jot pens, but my iPad is 2nd Gen, so I really don't get as much benefit. Once I upgrade I will give it a go!

[@smileysmultimedia]

dottotech I definitly agree with the people in Evernote forums asking for password encrypted notes and notebooks. If someone is snooping on my computer and evernote files weather at my computer or a hacker they should not be able to walk right into my notes with information that is meant to be private. So hopefully Evernote is making that feature a priority. In that same vein, Evernote allows us to put images in our notes if we want; so i would also hope that evernote is working on a way to encrypt images just as we do text. Do you know of any current or future evernote plans to provide these types of encryption is future updates

[@dottotech]

Smiley's Multimedia I am surprised we don't have it yet?

[@TerryBenzie]

They've removed the presentation option from iOS devices, even for Premium subscribers. Evernote presentations off on an iPad was a really wonderful thing.

[@chdevos]

Steve, you talk about 'local notebooks on the computer' but where can I find this notebook on my Mac. I don't find it in Finder.

[@dottotech]

Christian De Vos It only means they are stored locally and not synced to the cloud service and your other devices, you still access then from within Evernote, there is no separate version to find in Finder.

[@Steve_W5IEM]

This was well over a year ago and in my opinion Evernote has not done enough to improve their security. At the very least there should be a way to delete all notes on a desktop version of Evernote that has had the authorization revoked. Major security flaw.

[@dottotech]

+Steve May I agree security is the #1 shortcoming in Evernote. It limits what you can use if for.

[@ThePhilocypher]

OK, So i'm only 2mintues and and my mind is already blown!!! I had to stop and just say that merging the notes together has just made my damn night! Thank you! I'm seriously in shock from that...OK calming down and back to the video.

[@dottotech]

LOL, It is all good!Thanks for sharing!

[@suncat9]

I want Evernote to automatically create a table of contents for one of my notebooks. You lost me when you said "all you do is click select multi-select all of the different notes." I thought maybe you meant to highlight (select) multiple notes, after which an option will appear allowing the creation of a table of contents of the selected notes. However, Evernote does not allow me to highlight multiple notes. (I tried right clicking and dragging, left clicking and dragging, simultaneously right or left clicking while holding down the CTRL button and then dragging. Nothing works.) Maybe your version on Apple is different than my version on Windows and Android? Maybe the table of contents creation feature requires the premium version? Bottom line: after watching your video, I still have no idea how to create a table of contents for an Evernote notebook.

[@td-tv2862]

Super impressed with your shows. How do you keep your glasses from reflecting the light.

[@mohammedshahidt.k2612]

Hi Dotto... Can u plz tell me how can i import data from Google keep to Evernote.

[@dottotech]

Here you go discussion.evernote.com/topic/97201-how-to-transfer-all-the-notes-from-google-keep-to-evernote/

[@Nezello]

EVERNOTE LOSES NOTES (THEY DISAPPEAR) NO WAY TO GET THEM BACK!!!

[@dottotech]

+Nezello I have not experienced that, but is sounds awful! I suppose you did not have it backed up.

[@Nezello]

Yes I did. It's all over Google, with Evernote things go into the abyss never to return... It forced me to look at other alternatives. I fell in love with OneNote although it took me 2 days to get it to sync, I sill love it. I actually never thought about using it until Evernote FAILED ME AGAIN...

[@chdevos]

Hello Steve, First of all: a big THANK YOU for all your movies about Evernote on KZbin. I learned a lot about Evernote, that I use now as my second brain. In september I will give a short speech about Evernote in the Apple Club of my town. But I still have 1 important question about using Evernote: - some users prefer to have less notebooks and stacks, but a lot of tags to find their notes - some users don’t want to use tags ('too much work’); they use the notebooks and stacks as folders; they found their notes using the search tool of Evernote. What is your opinion about that and what do you recommand? I don’t think I have found a movie of yours concerning this issue. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Belgium

[@dottotech]

Christian De Vos Hey Christian I am Glad you found the content valuable. Personally, I prefer less notebooks more tags, as the tags create context which I find more valuable than structure of an notebook. Said that, there is no "right or wrong"of doing Evernote. I hope this helps!

[@chdevos]

dottotech Thanks Steve. I think I will use 20 to 30 notebooks (to keep it simple) and within these notebooks some tags. A combination of both systems will help me to find easily my notes. Thanks again.

[@d11ita]

Thanks for the great tips. Unfortunately "presentation mode" is available only for premium subscribers. I thought that was the same for encryption, but I'm happy to be wrong. I find very useful the "table of contents" functionality, and I didn't know this new feature. In fact, I used to create table of contents manually. Excellent.

[@dottotech]

d11ita thanks for the heads up on presentation mode, I missed that.

[@d11ita]

dottotech :-) not at all!

[@bradpearce4458]

Steve, You should do a presentation on the incredibly powerful .pdf annotation features within Evernote. Evernote is my go-to for annotating exhibits that I use in court (no confidential information, though). Tagging, highlighting, arrows, text, Evernote has it all.

[@dottotech]

Brad Pearce Good suggestion, I have to do some research, because if I am not mistaken, all versions of EN are NOT created equal when it comes to managing PDF. Let em work on it!

[@bradpearce4458]

dottotech True -- the iPad Evernote app is far more powerful for annotating pdfs than the Mac app.

[@markjcundiff]

Good tips! Thanks!

[@johngeverett]

Another meaty and useful presentation! Steve, you are the MAN!

[@ntso77]

You are my Evernote guru, thank you for all your awesome videos, I've learned so much so far! Any suggestions on how to backup all Evernote created notebooks in case my hard disk goes dead?

[@dottotech]

***** Under the file menu, you will find export notes, use that for backing up your notebooks

[@ntso77]

Thank you so much, God bless you!

[@MrFinnwj1]

Cool !!

[@jsbarra1]

Table of contents is only available on Evernote for Mac.

[@dottotech]

Jeremiah Sbarra Thanks Jermemiah, Windows users should be up in arms!

[@rexedwardfairy2197]

So I can find a FAIR BIT OF INFo about how to email your documents into Evernote. (I've just spent a week doing so, and also saving them in directly, and also scanning paperwork in and saving it into Evernote) in attempt to go paperless. Good...I've deleted all my old digital storage folders (after archiving them on an external harddrive). so now my ONLY storage system is Evernote. This works fine for storing. Briliantly for searching documents (due to the multiple tags system) and magnificiently for saving webclips, emails etc. I can find heaps of info on the above... HOWEVER WHAT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WORK SO WELL FOR is... emailing doucments OUT OF EVERNOTE. heaps of info everywhere about emailing them in...and very little info about emailing them out again once theyre stored in evernote. Ie when I'm drafting an email in my macmail and... want to add an attachment... I press the add attachment button and.. NOW (having deleted all files from my computer system)... when I’m in my email box, mailing out… i can’t simply press the attach button and add an attachment to the outgoing email - bc mail doesnt seem to be able to locate and penetrate into evernote files to search for documents. THIS IS KINDA ANNOYING (LIKE REALLY!). Have I missed something? Surely I dont have to go into evernote and download files onto my desk so that i can attach them to an email I’m drafting as the evernote website suggests: Email a note To email a note, select the note from the note list, then do the following: Windows: Click the arrow (pointing down) on the Share button to expand the menu and select Send by Email... Mac: Select Note > More Sharing > Email a Copy... from the Evernote menu bar MAJOR PAIN IN THE ARSE. means i end up with a desktop full of downloaded docs (just for attaching to an email i've already drafted in macmail). Tried using the above evernote email-out and it didnt even send. woudlnt like it if it did anyway - interface is too minimal (no info) and horrible... I'm wondering if a guru like you, surely surely... you must have a user-friendly way of drafting emails in your current macmail (our outlook or wahtever you use) and simply finding a way to link evernote so that we can just press the attach-document button and begin searching through our evernote-filed files to locate what we're after?????

[@dottotech]

Rex EdwardFairy A few things Rex, have you checked out our Paperless Webinar? It is a year old but right in the wheelhouse of your project! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvNZ4akZb6HrJo As far as emailing attachment, Evernote will not do that exactly, however a slight change in your mindset will accomplish the same thing. Go to the top right of a note and click on "Share" Copy the public link Paste that into your email the recipient will click on it and open in the browser the note you want to share. Does that solve it for you?

[@rexedwardfairy2197]

Thanks Steve for coming back to me. Havent checked out the paperless webinar, i've just been going by a blog I read somewhere, following thier guidelines. Will check out your webinar... I think this WOULD certainly help, but stranglely that 'share' button is greyed out. (Now i'm in australia, might be geoblocked? and i"m just on premium trial at this point. i wonder if that's why its greyed out/unclickable...)

[@dottotech]

Rex EdwardFairy It should work, not share the while notebook, just share the note, make sure you are in a note and then give it another go.

[@DFulton36]

Is that a bugger?

[@melodytomlinson9329]

Thanks, this is a great way to learn in bite sizes, as needed.

[@dottotech]

Melody Tomlinson Thanks Melody!

[@badgerrow]

Steve, it doesn't appear as though the table of contents function in Evernote is editable once the listing has been established. For example, reordering the contents of the listing. Also, can I update a table of contents as I get more information? For example, adding a "December note" to a previously established table of contents containing January-November?

[@dottotech]

+Jeffrey Lueken Hey Jeffrey, you are right, it is not dynamic. Once Created it needs to be manually edited, or re-created.

[@badgerrow]

+dottotech Are you saying I can manually change the contents of a TOC, including adding entries? If so, I would need guidance.

[@dottotech]

+Jeffrey Lueken They are a normal note, so you can edit them at will, or re-gather all the notes included and make a new TOC

[@BryanNystrom]

Steve, Once again, awesome presentation of some frequently overlooked stuff. Thanks! (Not sure if you mentioned it, but "Presentation" is a paid feature after the first 30 days)

[@dottotech]

Bryan Nystrom Good point, that slipped by me, thanks for mentioning it.

[@anshanbush]

looking forard to the entire course~

[@dottotech]

Hsin Wang I hope you like it.

[@JEDrummer100]

Thanks a lot Steve, once again another brilliant video on Evernote. I found your Evernote Journal video incredibly useful for when I am using my notebook at uni! :)

[@dottotech]

James Devine Good to hear James, thanks for the kind comments!

[@JohnnysComedy]

I would love to see Evernote integrate an auto table of contents creation feature. Basically, when you would create a notebook, Evernote would automatically create a table of contents note within that notebook, and every time a new note was added to the notebook, the note would auto add to the table of contents. That way, we wouldn't have to manually redo the table of contents every time we add a new note. I would hug everyone if they would do that. I'm an Evernote junkie. I go to Evernote therapy every Tuesday after storming the castle.

[@dottotech]

Johnny Leroy Good suggestion Johnny, have you posted it to the Evernote Forum?

[@Voodoo8648]

Aboot.... LOL..... Canadadians

[@dottotech]

Voodoo8648 Just got back from the States....I have no Idea what you guys find so amusing......eh....

[@bradpearce4458]

Nice catch on encryption within a note!

[@dottotech]

Brad Pearce But it is really only a partial solution!

[@iamdavis012686]

Misspelled presentation at 5:25

[@dottotech]

Brian Davis Not the first time and be the last, but thanks!Det fungerar olika för varje land, men det gör så mycket mer än hjälpa till att hitta en adress! last! but thanks

[@FilmFloozy]

Good tips. Thanks!

[@JanBusk]

Table of content function is a really neat thing! Thanks for the tip,

[@dottotech]

Jan Busk It does rock! I imagine they will be beefing it up over time as well,.

[@robertneumann4012]

No mention that these features are only offered with an Evernote Premium Subscription.

[@dottotech]

+Robert Neumann They have changed the plans since this video was created

[@PrashanthAkunuri]

+dottotech does this mean that these features are removed for free users whoever were using for past few years? Thanks.

[@artfulstationer]

Not sure why you and other KZbinrs feel the need to be in the video the entire time. I feel it adds little to the overall video and it is extremely distracting for me, to the point where I am not really getting and fully understanding the content. It works when you come in at the beginning and at the end but that's it. The content you're creating and sharing is absolutely fantastic but I can't bring myself to subscribe and watch your videos the whole way through. This has been an issue for me for as long as I can remember, it's like when someone is talking to me when the TV is on, I have a really hard time focusing. I'm sure I'm not alone and I hope you're not offended. It's really one of those "it's not you, it's me" things. I just want to give honest feedback. You really do have great content, I wish I could sit through it all.
