The Notes section is built on an editor where everything is a block: a paragraph, a heading, a list, or a table. You can drag blocks up and down, change their type, and build a rich page in a few taps. This guide shows you how to take notes with the block editor.

Create your first note

Open Notes from the left menu and add a new page. Write a title, then start typing. Each line is its own block; to add a new block type, use the insert menu at the start of the line or type a quick command. You can also create sub-pages inside a page to keep topics apart.

Use block types

Mix the blocks you need to structure your thoughts:

  • Headings: split long notes into sections.
  • To-do lists: add checkable tasks and track progress.
  • Tables: organize information in rows and columns.
  • Images and code blocks: add screenshots or keep technical notes in formatted code.
  • Mentions: link to related people and items with @.

The number of pages is not capped at a fixed count; you can create as many pages as your storage allows. Changes are saved as you type.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change a block's type later?

Yes. You can select any block and switch its type, for example turn a paragraph into a heading or a list into a to-do list.

How many pages can I create?

There is no fixed page limit. The total is only bounded by the storage on your plan.
