Sort your notebooks:

You can create separate notebooks for each subject just like your pen-paper notes. Start sorting on Noteshelf by naming and arranging them on shelves based on priority. There are custom covers and templates available in the app which can be added to your notes. This helps in easy identification of your notes and subjects.

Add an index:

An index should be added at the beginning of your notes. This saves your time as your topics are listed out systematically. Index is the key to identification. When you start a new topic or class, add it to the index along with the page numbers and date. To ease your search even further, Noteshelf has a page navigation scroll that takes you to the desired page in seconds.

Folders help you distinguish the type or category of notes. All notes of the same category can be put in one folder. If you want to maintain a journal, create timetables, save favourite recipes or any personal interests, you can create categories accordingly. You can pin your favourite Notebooks on Noteshelf too. Also, in the quick access menu you can switch between your recent notebooks.

Add tags:

Tags are your time savers. They help you find any notes on the go. The main use of tags is that they narrow down your search.With tags, you can directly search throughout your notes. For example, search with the tag “cell biology” and all the pages with that tag would be displayed.

Bookmark pages:

Bookmarking is a common thing students do. It’s not only fun but also an important revision tool. When you bookmark a page, you can come back to it again and revise. In Noteshelf, you can add bookmarks and save them for future revisions. You can also color code them. Check this video to know more about bookmarking on Noteshelf – https://youtu.be/NSgjv_0Dz6k
