Lesson 8 - Advanced Features

NoteDex has many features, and here's a quick look

at some of them

For instance, adding cards one at a time is fine

for a handful, but what if you've got 50?

Here's how to move fast. Open the menu inside a

stack and choose Text Import

You'll see a small spreadsheet grid with five

columns: Title, Front Text, Back Text, Group, and

Tag

You can type directly into it or click Import CSV

to bring in a file you've already built, say, in

Excel, saved as a CSV

Make sure the file is formatted and exported

correctly

Check the NoteDex documentation to be sure

Check the box for Generate Thumbnails if you want

preview images created right away, then click

Create Cards, and every row becomes a real card

Already got the cards but need to clean them up in

bulk?

Click the menu and choose Multi-Select

Check boxes appear on every thumbnail

Pick your cards and a toolbar at the top lets you

move or copy them to another stack, drop them into

a group, tag them all at once, or delete them in

one go

When finished, click the blue X to exit

For capturing a fast thought without leaving what

you're doing, open the right-hand sidebar on the

home screen and use Quick Note

Type a title and body, pick which stack it should

land in, and save

It's a scratch pad that never makes you navigate

away

The same productivity sidebar also shows your most

recently opened cards across every stack, so

jumping back to something you were just working on

is one click away

You'll also notice at the bottom of the homepage is

the Recent Stacks view

When in a stack, you can move cards simply by

dragging them into the new position or use the card

menu to move them to a specific position

If you find you can't drag the card, it means the

app is in touch mode

Perhaps you are on a tablet or were using Ink

Go to Settings to change that

Between CSV import, multi-select, quick notes, and

more, you should never feel like NoteDex is slowing

you down
