Another thing to know

about Evernote,


is that it can be accessed in any device


that makes use of the internet.


When Evernote is installed in all these devices


you can create notes

anytime and anywhere.


Then Evernote will sync any activity to the other devices.


Even if you have no

device brought along,


you can still access

your Evernote account


by signing in through

the website.


Open an internet browser


Go to evernote.com


On the Evernote Homepage, Click WEB SIGN IN

Make or edit notes as

you please.


Do not forget to sign

out after.


To sign out, click the dropdown arrow beside the username


These options will appear. Click LOG OUT


You will be taken back to the Evernote Homepage


A great thing with

Evernote is the various options

available.


You can create

notebooks in a device


without synching to

other devices and the web.


This means that the notebook and the

notes in it


can only be viewed on

the device it was made.


This can be for work

projects or secret plans.


To do this, click FILE


then move the mouse to NEW NOTEBOOK


Two options will appear, choose LOCAL NOTEBOOK


The Local Notebook will appear on the notebook list


Change notebook name if desired


Local Notebook is now created


Notes made in this notebook can be

viewed


only within the device.


Notebooks can also

be stacked


if they have similar

topics


Let’s say you are

planning trips ahead


and have created

separate notebooks for local and

international trips


Like this


Drag any of the two notebook to the other


This is how stacked notebooks look like


You can change the

name of the Notebook Stack


Click the Notebook Stack Name


then edit the Notebook Stack Name


Notebook Stack Name has been changed


Other options are

available for Notebook Stack


You can EXPAND STACK


ADD STACK TO SHORTCUTS


and DELETE STACK


To expand, click EXPAND STACK


This will display the notebooks within the

stack


as well as all the notes from the

notebooks.


EXPANDED LOOK


To collapse, right click the Notebook Stack


Choose COLLAPSE STACK


The Notebook Stack is now collapsed


ADD STACK TO

SHORTCUT means creating a shortcut


for the notebook stack

on the sidebar.


The Evernote Sidebar looks like this without the shortcut


Right click the Notebook Stack, choose ADD STACK TO SHORTCUTS


The Evernote Sidebar looks like this with the shortcut


This is the shortcut for the Notebook Stack


To delete the shortcut, click it


then drag it anywhere outside the sidebar


The shortcut has been deleted


To delete notebook stack, right click then choose DELETE STACK




click DELETE


The Notebook Stack has been deleted


The notes within the notebooks will not be

affected


when a Notebook Stack is deleted.


So no worries about those notes created.


Those are the basics

of Evernote.


With Evernote, you

can remember everything from now

on.


In order to succeed, your desire for success should

be greater than your fear of failure.
