The Notes app in macOS Sequoia has been updated with some very useful new features: collapsible sections and new paragraph styles. Collapsible sections can come in handy as you’re writing or reviewing a note to reduce the amount of time it takes to find what you’re looking for. Meanwhile, the new paragraph styles offer more flexibility to your formatting while writing or editing a note. In this article, we\u2019ll look at how to use each new feature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to collapse sections and headings<\/strong> in Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use collapsible sections, you must be using iCloud notes or notes stored on your Mac. If you are, launch the Notes app on your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Open a note, then select the text for the heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the \u201cAa\u201d icon, then click Heading or Subheading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Add content to the section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the down arrow button to hide the content in the section or Click the right-point arrow to expand a section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to format text with new paragraph styles in Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can change the paragraph for fast formatting of text.\u00a0 You can also change the alignment, and customize the default title paragraph style for all new notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, to use paragraph styles and specify the paragraph style that\u2019s used when you create a new note, just as with collapsible sections, you must be using iCloud notes or notes stored on your Mac. Now launch the Notes app. open a note, and do any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Apply a paragraph style to a paragraph: Click anywhere in the text you want to format, click \u201cAa\u201d, then choose a style.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
