Quick edit

Quick edit provides an alternative to the standard tab-based navigation and editing.

Instead of clicking on a note which switches the Note Tree to the newly selected note, or navigating between two different Tabs, the Quick edit feature opens as a popup window that can be easily dismissed.

This feature is also well integrated with Collections such as the calendar view, which makes it easy to edit entries without having to go back and forth between the child note and the calendar.

Feature highlights

• All note types are supported, including Collections.
• Note that the Note List will not be displayed, except for notes of type Collections.
• For Text notes, depending on user preference, both the floating and classic editors are supported. See Formatting toolbar.
• The title and the note and the icon are editable, just like a normal tab.
• The Promoted Attributes are also displayed.
  • This integrates well with Collections where there are predefined attributes such as the Start date and End date, allowing for easy editing.
