Notes Overview
Notes are rich‑text documents that live inside your workspace. They are built with the Quill editor, which gives you full control over formatting — fonts, colours, size, alignment, lists, and more.
What are notes?
Notes are your primary tool for capturing ideas, writing documents, and recording information. Each note belongs to a workspace and has:
- Title — the name of the note.
- Content — rich‑text content with full formatting.
- Paper colour — choose from preset colours or the Pro color picker.
- Creation date — when the note was created.
- Last updated — when the note was last modified.
