david_navigator 5 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The recent notes feature shows me the notes that were changed recently, but it doesn't show me the notes I read recently. I use Evernote primarily as a reference library i.e. I read existing notes far more frequently than I write new notes. When I'm involved in a specific project they'll probably be about a dozen notes that I regularly refer to for a few days and then another project will come along and use a different set of notes (which is why pinning or creating shortcuts doesn't work). Is there any way to see my recently read notes, preferably in chronological order of last accessed, so I can easily flip between them ? Cheers David Link to comment
Jon/t 1,657 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I don't think there is. There was a lot of discussion here about this topic a few months ago as there was 'bug' where if you read a note the updated time would change. The general consensus was that the update date should only be changed if the note itself was changed. I think the only solution right now would be to try and make the new feature where you can pin notes to the top of a notebook work for you. Pin what you need and unpin when you're done with them.

Level 5* gazumped 12,059 Posted June 14 Level 5* Share Posted June 14 If I need a collection of notes for a specific purpose I'll move (or copy) them into a new notebook and then throw them back/ delete the copies when I'm done. Link to comment

Unfortunately that wouldn't work for me as it's a corporate account, so notes that I might only be reading, other's might also need to refer to (and possibly update), so changing notebook wouldn't work. 1 Link to comment

Imagine a notebook per customer, where there is a note containing details of their ecommerce server. If I need to update a group of ecommerce servers I need to read just the ecommerce note, from that group of customers notebook. Link to comment

I have a stack called Clients and then a notebook for each client. Inside each notebook the notes for contacts, server details and active projects are pinned to the top of the notebook like this. The pinned notes always stay at the top of the notebook and when I'm done with a project I unpin it. Not sure if something similar to this would work. Link to comment
david_navigator 5 Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 How do you pin a note like that. I don't seem to have that option ? Link to comment

Its a new feature so you need to be on version 10.92.3+. It you don't see it straightway it may not be fully rolled out. I'm find it really useful. Link to comment
LAM in SC 0 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Pin to notebook? I have Evernote 10.92.3 and the release notes say that it introduces "the ability to pin one or more notes to the top of a notebook," but I can't find that option. I have deleted and reinstalled Evernote for Windows, but I still can't find an option for pin to notebook. Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,792 Posted June 14 Level 5 Share Posted June 14 I have 10.92.3 Mac direct installed, the feature is announced in the version notes, but it is not available. Link to comment
kger 0 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I'm using version 10.94.3 on Windows, and the popup context menu for notes still does not have the "Pin to notebook" option. Am I looking in the wrong place? The screenshot is from the context menu of the notes list in the middle panel. Right-clicking on the note editor does not show a "Pin to notebook" option, either. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,792 Posted July 8 Level 5 Share Posted July 8 Log out, quite the client, restart it and log back in. Still missing ? Link to comment
yankru 14 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 To pin a note, you need to be in the Notebook in which you want to pinned the note, otherwise the option is not available! Link to comment
