Note Icons

Note icons help you quickly identify notes in the sidebar without reading the title.

  1. Open a note
  2. Click the icon area to the left of the note title (shows a default icon or empty state)
  3. Select an emoji from the picker
  4. The icon appears immediately
  1. Click the existing icon
  2. Choose a new emoji
  3. The icon updates instantly
  1. Click the icon
  2. Select the “Remove” option or pick the empty state

Icons display in several places:

  • Sidebar - Next to the note name
  • Note header - Above the title in the editor
  • Tabs - If you have multiple notes open
  • Search results - For quick identification
  • Wiki link suggestions - When typing [[
  • Use consistent icons for related notes (e.g., all meeting notes with a calendar emoji)
  • Choose icons that represent the note’s content
  • Icons work well with groups that also have icons for visual hierarchy

Groups can also have icons. Open a group’s context menu and select Change Icon to customize.
