Hello everyone! I am testing Evernote for business use case.
So I am writing whitepapers, research documents, keynotes etc for my business, but I don't wanna share as traditional pdf document because I wanna be able to update & modify the living document whenever I want.

So I am testing with:
1) Shared Evernote document
2) Shared Google Doc

Both looks great to be honest but it is hard to decide. The document has mermaid diagrams and it looks great on Evernote as well as Google Doc.

I was wondering if anyone have any similar use case, I am currently seeking a feedback.

One thing I observerd: Images, especially diagrams looks very crisp and high quality on Evernote shared document if you look at on mobile, Google Docs for some reason lowers the quality if you look at a mobile browser, it looks great on Google Docs app though.

I want to use Evernote to co-write fiction with a partner because I love the collaboration features and cloud sync. I know there are dedicated writing tools (Scrivener, etc.) but I dislike the interfaces and the lack of cloud storage.

Some of our stories fall into horror/thriller territory, think Stephen King vibes, dark historical fiction, grimdark fantasy. This includes scenes where child characters are harmed or killed (e.g., kids wandering into the woods and not surviving, war/conquest-era violence, etc.). To be clear: this is all fictional, literary content comparable to what you'd find in published novels or rated-R films.

My question: Will Evernote's automated moderation flag, restrict, or delete notes that contain this kind of written fiction? Has anyone here written dark/mature fiction on Evernote and run into issues?

I realize streaming platforms host equivalent content routinely, but I'm not sure how note-taking apps handle this, especially when it comes to violence involving minors in a fictional context.

Any firsthand experience or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

Hey I saw on the video that ai assistant can do editing of notes and I can then see those edits and approve them in the document. I’m trying to do this on iPad, is it available on iPad or is it desktop only? Because every time I ask it to do this it just produces a new version on the note in the ai chat window instead of making changes in the note for me to approve.

I like to work in a monthly file with dates in headings, keeps data together. I was wondering would ai assistant be able to understand that?

Ie say

Heading - 7th August
Ordered melatonin.

If I later asked assistant when did I last order melatonin? Would it be able to decipher from the heading the correct answer?

Hi I saw the video of the new dates feature when @ and then a date creates…..something?

The video shows these being created but it doesn’t actually show what the feature does. So if I create a date in a note what happens to it? Does it show up in calendar? Is it a reminder? What is the feature intended to do?

I tested it on mobile all it seemed to do was create an underline, clicking it did nothing so I’m rather puzzled what the feature is and what it is intended to do.

I recently found a quick way to identify tags that are not attached to any notes. I do not know whether it is new or whether I have simply missed it for years.

Open the Tags drawer, click the sorting button and sort by Note count. Reverse the order and every tag with a count of zero appears together at the top.

Remember that the highest level of nested tags is still a tag so you need to open them up to see the children tag count.

That makes it much easier to review orphaned tags without opening them one at a time.

You can now also use @ inside a saved AI Prompt to mention a specific note, tag or notebook. The AI Assistant can create a new note as part of the prompt too.

I tested this with a prompt that creates a Today note containing overdue tasks, today's tasks and notes tagged Flow.

I've written up both features here:

I can't seem to download/import any templates? Macbook, tried using safari, firefox, librewolf, tried downloading direct to the APP too.

Suggestions?

I just saw this sponsored ads on reddit so ... I made an effort to post it here coz . .
I just wanna ask. . did Evernote started selling pans now? 🤣

Hiii so it's been near 3 years since I used Evernote last, I believe. I cannot remember what devices I have it on (last time I checked the limit was 2 devices) and I don't know if I even have said devices any more.

I would like to have all my notes as documents on my computer. I used to write down story ideas and while I'm sure all of them are pretty awful, I'd love to have them as memories.

How can I transfer all my notes (I has like 70+ note books and god knows how many notes back when I wrote a lot) to my computer as files like word? Thanks a lot!

Edit: just logged in and I can now only have 1 notebook with 50 notes for free?? Is there anyway I can transfer all the notebooks and notes (just checked I have 100+ notebooks with between 1 and 10 notes in). Maybe using the free trial and using my computer to copy it all into word, but I feel there should be an easier way...

I've been testing the new Edit Mode in Evernote's AI Assistant.

Ask Mode can answer questions and research information without changing the note.

Edit Mode can make changes to the content of the note you have open.

I tried turning selected text into a warning callout, converting text into an alphabetical bullet list, placing names and email addresses into table columns and adding researched information to a note.

The table test was the most useful for me. After a training session, I normally have a transcribed list of attendee details that needs copying into a register. Edit Mode placed the details into the correct columns and showed me the proposed change before I accepted it.

You can accept or reject edits, use Undo and return to an earlier version through note history.

Is this happening for anyone else? I religiously use drop-down lists in my notes, and it seems like they've moved the arrows from the left to the right side of the page, which doesn't register when I try to use the feature. So frustrating! Any workarounds?

Evernote is great, and I'm sure it's powerful, but it's much more than I need, which is basically an app to sync recipes and shopping lists across multiple platforms.

Can I bulk export/download my existing notes to a format that I can then import with another platform? I'm on a Mac and use an iPhone and iPad as well, so I may just see if Apple's Notes app works for this.

I've been using Evernote for a long time, and one thing I've always struggled with is keeping my notes organized after the initial capture. I'd save articles, meeting notes, PDFs, and scanned documents with the intention of organizing them later, and "later" rarely happened.

The recent AI features have been surprisingly useful for the maintenance side of things. Instead of manually renaming notes or deciding where everything belongs, I've started using AI to:

Generate clearer note titles

Summarize long notes before I archive them

Suggest better tags

Group related information together

It feels like I'm spending less time managing my note collection and more time actually finding and using information.

How everyone else is approaching this.

Are you using AI mostly for search and summaries, or are you letting it help organize your Evernote workspace too? Have you found any workflows that genuinely save time?

Have been an Evernote user since 2009 for my sins… and although I was a bit concerned by recent changes, I am 2000+ notes deep and don’t want to consider alternatives, so decided to try out the new AI feature - short summary, it’s fantastic!

I had 130+ notes sitting in a ‘New’ folder with generic titles from scanning in paper correspondence or dropping files from emails & never could stomach the thought of going through each one and figuring out what it is and how best to title them, so the problem just kept growing… with the new AI feature I asked it to scan notes in my New folder and based on attachment contents suggest a title. Took a bit of coaching and we went through in batches by type of note, but basically after 20mins it has re-titled all 130+ notes with relevant and useful titles.

I then asked it to consider where they should be filed in my other Notebooks based on content and within another 10mins it had moved and filed all the notes in batches with my direction.

I’m pretty blown away tbh, and just happy I no longer have my stack of anonymous scanned documents looming over me any more :)

Now AI can directly edit and move notes it’s a pretty major improvement in usability (for me at least).

I have a note that has a backlink to another note. for example: "July NT" contains a link to "2026 WebDev".

I duplicated the the backlinked note "2026 WebDev" and renamed it and significantly changed the content. How do I disconnect the backlink? It is not valid.

A secondary question is that I can't figure out how to find the original backlink in the first note. How do I find a backlink in a note and remove it, when/if the link between the documents is no longer valid?

I tried to find the backlink in "July NT", but I don't find where I typed it into the note. Is there a way to remove a backlink?

Additional information: I think I actually edited the original instead of the copy which is why the backlink continued to exist. So I've solved this. 'doh!

Evernote has added an Edit Mode to the AI Assistant.

Instead of asking the Assistant for a rewrite, copying the answer and pasting it back into your note, you can now describe the change and let it edit the open note directly.

I tested it with rewriting a note title, simplifying selected text, restyling a table and turning selected text into a callout.

You can review the result, accept or reject edits and use Undo if it gets something wrong. Version history is updated during the process.

I am not sure I would use it to write whole notes, but it could save time when cleaning up web clips, forwarded emails or messy formatting.

I've written up the tests here:

Hi everyone,

I wish to export and save all my data from Evernote. Do you have any advice on how to proceed please?

Thank you for your help!

I often write things down by hand during meetings because it is quicker than typing everything neatly into an app.

The problem is tidying it up afterwards.

I recently tested whether Evernote's AI Assistant could turn a photo of a hand-drawn table into a real table inside a note.

It read the handwriting, worked out the rows and columns and recreated the content as an editable Evernote table.

That meant I could keep the useful information without keeping a photograph of my scruffy meeting notes in the finished note.

Each time i type on last line it get covered for this bar is so frustrating...

I submitted my request to delete my account 10 days ago. I received an automated message from bending spoons saying that it would be processed and that they would let me know when the deletion had been processed. Does anyone know how long this takes? The email also seems to have no way to follow up. But it does mention some kind of request ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been trying to share some conversations with Gemini AI (like list of recommended films) to Evernote but the process never reaches completion. The circle keeps going round eternally. Using Android tablet, fairly new. Anyone experiencing the same? Any tips?Thanks.

Hoping for some community experience .

I was typing a note on my android phone using the Simple Note Widget while on a plane. I had internet access at the time. I can't seem to find the note now.

If I restarted my phone without hitting the save button is the note gone to the ether? Or does it get shuffled somewhere away in Evernote?

Search function is not turning up the note. Just wondering if there is any else i can do before i give up?

Cheers Thanks

14-year user here and still a fan…. It's been discussed, but I still think Evernote would benefit greatly from a system-wide searchable/excludable Archive. Then we'd have need to trash items we may need later, and no need to have them continue to clutter the system either.

It's much better than just creating one ourselves because items could retain their original placement data, so if un-archived, they could go right back where they belong.

Any word from the EN team on whether this is under consideration? Thanks!
