How Information Is Organized in

Evernote• Notes: Everything added to Evernote is saved as a note. You

can have as many notes as you like. Each notes can

contain text, images, audio, PDFs, digital ink, and attached

files (Evernote Premium only).

• Notebooks: Notes are organized within notebooks. New

accounts start with a single notebook. You can create as

many notebooks as you like. You may also choose to share

notebooks; shared notebooks have RSS feeds.

• Tags: Tags are keywords, or labels, that you manually

associate with a note. Notes can have multiple tags. Assign

the same tags to notes on similar topics, and you will be

able to quickly filter your notes later using those tags.

How Information Is Organized in

Evernote• Attributes: Attributes are auto-generated information about

notes. These include creation dates; note contents, such as

file attachments and to-do checkboxes; and information on

the source of the note –whether it was emailed in or

clipped from the web.

• Saved Search: If you find yourself performing the same

search over and over, you should create a Saved Search.

Put in all your search criteria, then save it. Now you can

repeat the search without having to re-enter the criteria. A

Saved Search may contain any combination of keywords,

tags, and other filters.
