Feature request: ability to easily share individual notes with other users


Recommended Posts

There's one feature that's stopping me moving over to Evernote. That is its limited ability to share individual notes with other Evernote users.

 

My feature request is: "As an Evernote user I want to share individual notes with other Evernote users, so we can all contribute to the note". Ideally the sharing mechanism would allow me to enter another Evernote username or email address.

 

I appreciate I can share an individual note via various methods (https://evernote.com/evernote/guide/mac/#9) but none of these hit the mark. The closest is generating a share URL but this requires the other party to access the note via the URL (instead of seeing it appear automatically within their Evernote). I also don't like this being publicly accessible.

 

This question has been asked many times before but doesn't appear to have been picked up (eg. https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/37245-how-to-share-a-single-note-to-specific-people/).

 

I also appreciate users can share entire Notebooks but I simply have individual notes within Notebooks I want to share.

So many other people have also asked for a simple way of sharing individual notes, I'm surprised this has not been addressed.

 

Using Work Chat is too laborious (and the other methods aren't suitable) when all I want to do is share a note with another Evernote user, and have us both be able to edit it. Like most other note apps!

 

Is there a feature request list somewhere? Can't find one on here.

The theory is that Work Chat is the way to share notes and notebooks with other users (see for example https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/78420-evernote-for-mac-6-sharing-notes-and-notebooks/), They seem wedded to the idea of Work Chat for the present, and if they continue with that philosophy, then hopefully they'll improve the Work Chat experience. If you have concrete suggestions, you should make them. Here in the forums is fine, as all comments are read by Evernote staff (often Evernote PMs), or you can make a suggestion via customer support.

Share note -> enter other user's id or email address -> select whether to allow view or edit access -> job done!

 

All other note apps I've used have this functionality. I love Evernote for so many reasons but can't swap over completely without this.

In the Windows client, I can right-click on a note in the note list, Share / Share Note... Or just click on the Work Chat icon in the note header. At that point, I can "enter other user's id or email address -> select whether to allow view or edit access". Not sure that I see that it's that much more onerous.
