    Organizing notes with notebooks

    Notebooks are a quick and easy way for multi-level notes organization. Starting from v2.4.7, topics are now optional in Notebooks and notes can be put directly under a notebook.

    If you are coming from Evernote, you can think of Notebooks as “Evernote Stacks” & topics as “Evernote Notebooks”. However, keep in mind, that there is a key difference:

    “Evernote Stacks” do not allow putting notes directly under them i.e., a Stack is just a collection of Notebooks and nothing else.

    In Notesnook, one note can belong to multiple notebooks & topics. This allows for very flexible organization structures. For example, an author can “link” the character list to all the chapter topics instead of duplicating it for each chapter. Similarly, a user can link common notes between multiple topics without the need for any duplication.
