How will you know if you haven&#8217;t upgraded? An Upgrade button will appear next to your iCloud account in the Mac Notes sidebar. Click it, and your notes are given the ability to use paragraph styles, checklists, attachments, the Notes &#8220;recently deleted folder&#8221; (it holds notes you&#8217;ve deleted for 30 days), and locked notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Lock Notes in OS X 10.11.4 and iOS 9.3<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>To begin with, we&#8217;ll look at how to lock notes in OS X 10.11.4.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35612\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910.jpg\" alt=\"The password field in Mac OS X Notes\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-222x120.png 222w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-284x154.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-190x103.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-222x120@2x.png 444w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-284x154@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/locked-e1458858057910-190x103@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When locking notes, a single password is created that\u2019s used for iCloud notes (those that are synced with your iOS devices) and Mac notes. If you\u2019ve already set up a Notes password on iOS, the same password is used with OS X. If you haven\u2019t set up a password, it\u2019s easy:<\/p>\n<p>1. With the Notes app open, select Notes &gt; Set Password from the menu bar<br \/>\n2. Enter a password in the Password field, then type it again into the Verify field<br \/>\n3. Enter a password hint in the hint field. This is very important, since if you forget your password, you won\u2019t be able to view those locked notes.

That&#8217;s absolutely wrong, particularly on the Mac. The image below shows a note that has color, italicized, and underlined text.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35623\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163.jpg\" alt=\"Formatted text in Notes\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-171x120.jpg 171w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-284x200.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-190x134.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-171x120@2x.jpg 342w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-284x200@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1163-190x134@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the Mac, just highlight the text in which you\u00a0wish to change the font, style or size. Choose Format &gt; Font from the menu bar to change the font, make text bigger or smaller, bold\/italicize\/underline it, change the color and more. Other stylistic choices, such as the type of list being used (bulleted or numbered) can also be selected from the menu. Clicking in a paragraph in a note, it&#8217;s also possible to use Format &gt; Text to change the justification of the text or (using Format &gt; Indentation) even indent text. Many of these same commands are also available by selecting text, then right-clicking to bring up a context menu that shows fonts and transformations (make all lower-case, make all upper-case, capitalize) among other items.<\/p>\n<p>Your choices for formatting text in the iOS version of Notes are much more limited, so if stylish text is what you want, you should definitely consider formatting it on the Mac. Notes on iOS allows you to bold, italicize, or underline text and indent (or outdent) it. To do so, select either a word or all of the text with the usual tap &gt; choose select (or select all), and then apply the appropriate styling from the menu that appears (see image below).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35624\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157.jpg\" alt=\"Formatting text in iOS\" width=\"640\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157-284x89.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157-190x60.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157-284x89@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_1157-190x60@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Import notes from Evernote into the Mac Notes app<\/strong><br \/>\nFor big users of Evernote, this tip won&#8217;t do you any good. But if you&#8217;re like a lot of folks, you may have heard about Evernote at one point, signed up for an account, and then put a few items out into the cloud-based &#8220;backup brain&#8221;. You can now take those notes out of Evernote and bring them into the Mac Notes app, meaning there&#8217;s one less service you need to worry about and one less app to have on your Mac.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, you&#8217;ll need to log into Evernote from the Mac (or Windows) app. When your notes are visible, select the ones you wish to export. I found it useful to simply command-click on the notes I wanted to export to select them. Next, choose File &gt; Export Notes from the Evernote menu (see image below).\u00a0This can take a while if your notes are images rather than text, so be patient.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35620\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2.jpg\" alt=\"Exporting from Evernote\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-174x120.png 174w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-284x196.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-190x131.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-174x120@2x.png 348w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-284x196@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ExportEvernote2-190x131@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the export is complete,\u00a0\u00a0you have the exported Evernote XML Export (.enex) file on your Mac.

Even map locations and previews of websites can be attached.<\/p>\n<p>On the Mac, it&#8217;s quite simple. If you have a file on the Mac desktop, just drag it to the note and drop it.

To preview the web page on the Mac without even opening Safari, just click once on the web link to select it, then press the space bar. You can do the same on the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus using 3D Touch &#8212; just give the web link a &#8220;hard press&#8221; and a preview of the web page appears.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35628\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink.jpg\" alt=\"Web Link in Notes\" width=\"640\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink-284x84.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink-190x56.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink-284x84@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WebLink-190x56@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How about adding a similar link on an iPhone or iPad? In Safari on your iOS device, just tap the share button, select Notes, and then choose whether to add the link to an existing note or create a new note.<\/p>\n<p>You can make similar links from a number of Mac and iOS apps that use the standard Apple Share button. Just see if Notes is listed as a share recipient, then choose a note to add the information to. I was surprised to find that I could add my current Activity progress to a note from the iOS app, and with my default Twitter app &#8212; Tweetbot &#8212; I can save pithy tweets for posterity in a note I created for that purpose.\u00a0Dropbox users can add links to files stored in the cloud service by using the Share button, something that can&#8217;t be done at this point with iCloud.<\/p>\n<p>One other tidbit about attachments added to notes; both the Mac and iOS versions of the Notes app now include an attachment browser. The Mac attachment browser button can be found in the toolbar (see image below), and when clicked, tabs appear that highlight Photos &amp; Videos, Sketches, Maps, Websites, Audio, and Document files. In the iOS Notes app, there&#8217;s an identical button that displays the same attachments in a scrolling list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35627\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser.jpg\" alt=\"Mac Attachment Browser\" width=\"640\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser-284x83.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser-190x56.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser-284x83@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MacAttBrowser-190x56@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Export\u00a0a note as a PDF file<\/strong><br \/>\nOn occasion, you may need to share a note with someone else, and you don&#8217;t really want them to be able to accidentally or intentionally edit the information. That&#8217;s where the Notes &#8220;share as PDF&#8221; feature on the Mac is handy.<\/p>\n<p>On the Mac, select the single note that you wish to export, then choose File &gt; Export as PDF. Instantly, a PDF file is created that brings over all of the content in the original note. If you had photos or drawings in your note, they come across looking just like the original.<\/p>\n<p>Apple didn&#8217;t add this feature to the iOS version, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t export notes from an iPhone or iPad as PDF files. You&#8217;ll just need to have a third-party app that provides\u00a0conversion of documents to PDF format. My iOS app of choice for this is <a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/printer-pro-print-documents\/id393313223?mt=8&amp;at=1l3vvXN\" target=\"_blank\">Printer Pro<\/a> ($6.99) from Readdle, which not only provides a\u00a0way to print almost anything on your iPhone or iPad as a PDF file, but also does a great job setting up printing to wireless printers when the built-in iOS print function\u00a0just won&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Have any favorite hints or tips you&#8217;d like to pass along to other readers of the Rocket Yard?
