Create and Use Smart Folders
You’ve probably already heard of the Notes app’s folders. This is a simple feature that helps you organize your notes by manually placing them in the folder you want.
But what happens when you have way too many notes and not enough time to sort them? That’s where Smart Folders come in.
Smart Folders in the Notes app let you automatically find notes that meet a specific requirement. For instance, you can create a Smart Folder that stores all your notes with checklists and another one with notes created before 2024.
Here’s how to create a Smart Folder in Notes:
- Open the Notes app.
- Click File in the top left corner of your screen.
- Select New Smart Folder.
- Enter a name for your Smart Folder.
- Be sure that Make into Smart Folder is ticked.
- Change the settings to include any filter you want, and when you’re done, click OK on the bottom right side of the window.
And that’s it. The Notes app will populate the Smart Folder with all your notes that meet your requirements.
