Level 5* jefito 5,586 Posted November 14, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted November 14, 2012 No such thing as a checklist in Evernote, just notes that have checkboxes. You can make lists inside a note and put checkboxes at the start of each item, though. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,146 Posted November 14, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I can add checkboxes into notes, but how do I get to view a checklist?If you mainly use one checkbox per note, you can do the followingCreate a list of your checkbox titles (I believe it works in the Mac similar to Windows)1. Run a search to find all your Unfinished To-Do items (the checkboxes that are not checked)todo:false2. Select all of the notes from the search3. Copy the note links (in Windows, I right click the selected titles in the Note List and select "Copy Note Link"4. Paste into a new note or into a Word document. Add bullet points to improve the appearance.A nice feature for this list is the titles are active links that will take you to the actual notes. Link to comment
peterlemer 13 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 jefito: that makes a lot of sense, will play, thanks :-)Reaver: that looks like a complex procedure to do a simple thing, which is to have an immediate list of actions that can be checked off.pardon my critique, I'm new to this game :-)pete Link to comment

I have been using Evernote for several years and have over 20,000 notes.I use Evernote's search grammar extensively, so I can understand how my suggestion might be daunting.But give it a try.I just timed myself to create a list of recent web clippings about the downfall of California.I created this list in under 30 seconds. The same can be done for a list of to-do items.http://www.evernote....ce32f73452b1d57p.s. this is a just a partial list. Anyone who knows Califonia's problems, will realize this is just a mere smidgeon of all the problem they face. Link to comment
