# Handling Notes

The [Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes) page shows all your personal notes. You can filter, edit, and delete them from here, as well as add new ones.

## Adding a Text Note

A text note lets you write down anything you want to remember — an observation, a summary, or a quick thought.

1. Go to [News → Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes).
2. Click **+ Add from text**.
3. Type your note in the text field (up to 4096 characters).
4. Click **Add**.

The note appears in your list immediately.

## Adding a URL Note

A URL note saves a web address as a clickable link.

1. Go to [News → Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes).
2. Click **+ Add from URL**.
3. Paste or type the web address into the URL field.
4. Click **Add**.

## Saving an Article as a Note

When you find a relevant article in the [News → Search]({APP_HOST}/documents/search) page, you can save it directly as a note using the **Save to notes** button on the result card. The note will store the article's title and URL so you can find and open it later. See [Using Search Results](../search/using-results) for more on what you can do with search results.

## Editing a Note

You can edit text notes and URL notes after they have been saved.

1. Go to [News → Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes).
2. Find the note you want to change and click the **Edit** (pencil) button on its card.
3. Update the text or URL.
4. Click **Save**.

> Document notes (articles saved from search results) cannot be edited, as they are references to existing content.

## Bookmarking a Note

If you want to share a saved article with your organization, you can promote it to a bookmark:

1. Find the document or search result note you want to share.
2. Click the **Bookmark** button on the note card.
3. Choose an existing collection or create a new one.
4. Click **Save**.

The article is now available to all members of your organization in [News → Bookmarks]({APP_HOST}/bookmarks). See [About Bookmarks](../bookmarks/about-bookmarks) for more details.

## Deleting a Note

To remove a single note:

1. Go to [News → Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes).
2. Click the **Delete** button on the note card.

The note is removed immediately.

## Deleting Multiple Notes

To delete several notes at once:

1. Click **Select** on each note you want to remove.
   - To select every note in your list, click **Select all** in the toolbar.
2. Once at least one note is selected, the selection toolbar appears.
3. Click **Delete (N)** in the toolbar, where *N* is the number of selected notes.

> Note deletion is permanent. There is no restore option for notes.

## Searching Within Your Notes

When you have more than one note, a search box appears at the top of the [Notes]({APP_HOST}/notes) page. Type to filter your notes by their content in real time.
