(Archived) How to Create Stacks in Evernote 5?

[ahatheway 1]

To create a stack in the old version, you dragged one notebook on top of the other. Doesn't seem to function that way in V5. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

I, too, could not figure out in NEW version 5 how to assign a notebook to a stack. The nearby reply "works for me" by Metrodon may be from a user who does not have the version 5. I suspect that Evernote just pushed this version out without really testing it. They certainly did not make an effort to document this new version. They posted promotional stuff about how great it was, but did not detail how to use the features they changed.

I had trouble finding it as well-- If you click on Notebooks so that you get the gray-ish screen, you'll be able to drag notebooks on top of other notebooks or into existing stacks. Right-click works as well.

So how do I rename a stack in Mac 5.0.5 version, preferably without a mouse? It used to be quite simple. Now I can't find anything.

 

Thanks

Right click or slow click twice.

I don't seem to be the only one having this problem:

 

Mac 5.0.5...can't create stacks.

 

Folder won't drag onto another to create stack.

 

Right click doesn't give option to create stack.

 

Slow double click doesn't do it.

 

HELP!!!

Not the most intuitive solution but Scottn57's suggestion does work. Drag and drop in the sidebar is the easiest solution for re-arranging stacks. The capability was in previous version of Evernote and I can't imagine why it would not be included in 5. Hopefully it's an oversight thus far and a fix is in the works.

Works for me, go to Notebooks and drag one onto another.

The easiest way to manage stacks is to click on Notebooks in the sidebar, then make any changes in the main panel.

[Metrodon 2,155]

That is the way you have to do it - making changes doesn't appear to be well supported in the side bar.

ScottN57. Your suggestion works for me. It definitely was not intuitive. It's still beta, so hopefully the rough edges will be polished in future updates.
