Rev 1 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I scan a lot of documents into Evernote, basically everything I receive in the mail that I deem worth saving. I usually scan them once a week or so. In the windows client I can change the create date to the date I actually received the document from the scanned date. In the web client (and the new beta) I don't see how to that? Is there a way to do this? Tks Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 12,066 Posted May 27, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi. I have the same process for scanning paper, but I scan to a folder on my hard drive which gives me the opportunity to add the origin date of the document to the title in yyyymmdd format. (I have a text expander to make the yyyymm bit one keypress). A typical title might be "20200515 receipt - Amazon - micrometer" so with various intitle:<variable(s)> I can find all the documents I processed since 20200501, everything that went through in January, all receipts this year etc etc. With each list of hits I have a sortable list of titles that will put it in date order if I need it that way. 1 Link to comment

Rev 1 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I prefer to change the create date because that allows me to easily sort by the create date and display the list of notes within a notebook that way. Link to comment
