The collapse state is remembered across sessions.
Ungrouped Notes
Section titled “Ungrouped Notes”Notes not in any group appear at the root level of the workspace. You can think of this as a default “inbox” for new notes.
Best Practices
Section titled “Best Practices”Keep Hierarchy Shallow
Section titled “Keep Hierarchy Shallow”2-3 levels of nesting is usually enough. Deeper hierarchies become hard to navigate.
Use Meaningful Names
Section titled “Use Meaningful Names”Name groups by topic, project, or category rather than generic names like “Folder 1”.
Combine with Tags
Section titled “Combine with Tags”Groups are great for primary organization, but tags can provide cross-cutting categorization without moving notes.
