Now I can type #Notes features and hit Return (or press the space bar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou can also choose from the list of suggested tags once you\u2019ve already added tags in Notes or Reminders. You can type the tag anywhere in a note. Tags have to be a single word, but you can use hyphens and underscores (for example, #meeting-minutes or #important_documents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cool feature: there\u2019s no limit on how many tags you can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using tags to find a note<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Naturally, you\u2019ll want to use tags to find a note. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b0 Launch Notes and make sure the Folder list is open. If it\u2019s not, select View, then Show Folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Notes](\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Show-Folders.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u00b0 Go to the bottom of the list, and you\u2019ll see a new section called Tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b0 Click or tap on All Tags. Or you can click or tap to select one or more tags. If you click or tap on two or more, you\u2019ll only see notes that have all of \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"All](\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/All-Tags.jpg\")
Tags only appear in the Tags section if there is a note currently using that tag. If you remove a tag from all the notes that use it, it will be removed from the Tags section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Custom Smart Folders <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Custom Smart Folders automatically collect notes in one place based on tags. And the Tag Browser in the macOS Monterey sidebar lets you choose any tag or combination of tags to quickly view tagged notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can create a Smart Folder to organize notes with one or more tags that you specify. Smart Folders don\u2019t contain notes; they contain references to notes in other folders. Smart Folders also can\u2019t be locked, turned into subfolders, or shared, although they can reference shared notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To create a Smart Folder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b0 In the Notes app on your Mac, do one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click New Folder in the sidebar, then choose Smart Folder from the pop-up menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose File > New Smart Folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Type a name for the Smart Folder, then enter one or more tags in the Tags field, or choose from the list of suggested tags<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you convert a folder into a Smart Folder, all of its notes are moved to the Notes folder and tagged with #[Folder Name<\/em>]. Be aware that you can\u2019t undo this move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To convert a folder into a Smart Folder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b0 Open Notes and click the folder you want to convert in the sidebar. If you don\u2019t see the sidebar, choose View > Show Folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b0\u00a0Click the More button next to the folder name, choose Convert to Smart Folder, then click Convert. Be aware that you can\u2019t convert a folder that is shared, contains a locked or shared note, or has a subfolder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can change the name of a Smart Folder, remove tags, or add tags. A Smart Folder must have at least one tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open Notes and do one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Position the pointer over a Smart Folder, click the More button (a circle with three dos), then choose Edit Smart Folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Control-click a Smart Folder, then choose Edit Smart Folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then do any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also move the Smart Folder in the sidebar. Just drag the folder to the location you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open Notes and do any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you delete a Smart Folder, this doesn\u2019t delete the notes it reference. They remain in their respective folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes also boasts a new Activity View. This allows you to see what others have added to your shared note. It gives a summary of updates since the last time you viewed the note and a day-to-day list of activity from each collaborator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you add a tag to a shared note, the other participants see the tag as dimmed text. They can Control-click it, then choose Add to Tags to convert it to a tag, or choose Convert to Text to convert it to plain text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A look at the new ability to tag notes in macOS Monterey’s Notes app. Learn how to create, edit, and delete Smart Folders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":79275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"class_list":["post-79087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-tips"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Smart](\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/File-New-Smart-Folder.jpg\")
