Merge with Default Note

At some point you may want to merge multiple notes (file, folder, file calculate, or folder calculate) in a file or folder into one note, that is into the default note. Using the Merge with Default Note command, you can quickly merge a second note with the default note of the same type.

For information about the default note and the circumstances that might lead to there being multiple notes in a file or folder, see Set as Default.

In our example, we are going to merge a second file note with the default file note. You can easily adapt our steps to merge other note types by simply selecting the appropriate note type.

 

Merged notes will be placed in chronological order when added to the default note.

  1. With the file that has multiple notes open, determine which note you would like to add to the default note. The current default note can be identified by these icons:
    1. – default file or folder note
    2. – default file or folder calculate note
  2. Select the note that is to be merged with the default note and do one of the following:
    1. On the Edit menu, point to Notes, and then click Merge with Default Note.
    2. Right-click the note, point to Notes, and then click Merge with Default Note.

  1. When the Confirmation message is presented, click Yes to complete the merge or No to cancel the merge.
 

Consider your decision to merge notes carefully. The merged notes cannot be separated.
