I just noticed that there is an Evernote integration within Microsoft Teams now. It is very nice but you can only post one note as a tab, would be nice to post my business notebooks (from personal account) in here not just individual notes. Also, I am curious whether anybody is utilizing this integration and what benefits they have seen or any comments they might have.

I started messing with Notion and I must admit they are doing a lot of stuff right that is being discussed around here. A lot of customization options, colors, tables that can add etc. The banner over a note and a icon in Notion was a really nice touch for me, because for almost all notes I insert a logo or a graphic related to the note. If it is a statement from Bank of America, there would be a logo of BOA. My intent is not to start discussing notion here, but we really need customization such as selecting the image we want to display in the card view. The presentation of information is sometimes as important as the content. It helps with your brain's cognitive abilities and makes you enjoy the tool you use. We are dedicated Evernote users and we really need these improvements (maybe need is a strong word here but I would really love these improvements) Cheers! and Happy Saturday!

I had this saved in Evernote back in December 2015 from their website. Hope it helps.

Although I am all for more colors, shortcuts, I honestly like the options in the CTRL + D option because once I do the CTRL + D, I do an ALT + C and hit B for blue, or R for red which speeds things up a lot. Now that I said, they will change that.

Is your D drive an internal drive or an external drive?

What version are you on? In the windows app, you can change the size of the columns and rows. You can align the texts in the individual cells or the entire row/column. I do not have an add on for tables. It was somewhere around 6.x (prior to 6.7 and I think maybe 6.5) table functions got a major overhaul so maybe you are on an older version. Otherwise, please upload a screenshot or a video of what you are seeing.

Looks interesting. There are many discussions about Evernote being linear and users needing more "visual" experiences to connect their notes, ideas and get inspired. Connecting a Kanban, table and a mind map is a really great idea. How long has your app been around? Is it just starting?

If you are going to need multiple filters and you have a lot of columns, Excel will be your best bet as far as speed and maintenance go. If you are talking about handful of columns, you may be able to handle it with tags but even the date potion would be not so consistent to track. Like you can go with created dates sorting in Evernote, or create tags for Months, Days etc. For certain outcomes, certain products are just meant for those purposes. A large database kind of data with columns and filtering needs really belong to Excel, Numbers, Access etc. If you wanted the combine the two, Excel and Evernote, I would probably make notes about each conversation and then copy that note link to a cell in Excel corresponding to the entry. This way I can still filter, sort in Excel based on multiple criteria but if I wanted to get more info about that call, for example the linkedin profile photo of the person or other things I capture in that note, then I click on the hyperlink. Finally, I would keep the Excel note within Evernote as an attachment, so it will available to you no matter what device or where you are. A cloud service with a link in Evernote to that file would work too.

That is a bummer. @CalS idea is actually a good one, if you can borrow someone's PC, that would work. Or you can also install Windows on your Mac with the boot camp but to me that would be a lot of work to achieve something that should be easier. Another option would be the copy paste which can be a pain depending on the volume of course but it can give you a chance to re-think | re-organize your note structure and quality of your notes. I looked at the OneNote export options and tried importing them into Evernote without using the option. XPS option looks like a file attachment and you can open it to view. Of course you can do the same with a PDF export and you can see the PDF content within the note. You can try this add on to export to TXT files which import into Evernote with their contents (at least on the Windows version) But may not work on the Mac version https://www.onenotegem.com/document/export-onenote-pages-to-txt-files If I was in that situation, I would start the "Operation Copy | Paste".

I would try the IMPORT option in Evernote but this is from a Windows screenshot so I am not sure if Mac version has it. (I would assume it does)

Wow! We are getting a lot of "I am leaving Evernote" posts lately. I recommend going with a version that was working for you and your team, @MRWConnected, for a temporary fix. If you are on Windows version, I can understand the frustration with the latest releases. For some reason, I have a good feeling about V7.0 . So wait for that. But this is NOT based on anything I know, heard or anything remotely close it. So you might call it "hope".

I think overall over the years Evernote got better. But it has grown and changed as well which generally brings other challenges and issues too. There are definitely complaints about certain things but that happens to many apps and software as you cannot make everybody happy. Having said that, there are times that the changes | added or removed features do not really make sense which makes it very frustrating to the dedicated users. But in the end, if the progress was on a chart, after the ups and downs, I think it is trending on a "positive" scale. Currently on my work laptop, with the Windows Version 6.7, it just works fine. It is fast, responsive no issues. However, I keep my home PC which is older with the latest version and that one really is horrible. It is super slow and I get the non-responsive warning all the time. Luckily, I don't use that for work so it does not bother me. But if that was my only machine, I would be on the same boat as you are. Therefore, I would recommend downgrading a version that might have worked for you better. I have close to 14K notes now and my digital life is around Evernote so I am happy with sticking it to it. But if it comes to a point that it is not bearable I would look into other solutions of course. Recently, I came across "Notion" which looked very promising to me, check that out.

What version are you currently using?

I had downloaded this IdeaPlaces app before but never really gave it a good try | chance. It shows your notes on a map, has location based reminders too. I may try it again. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ideaplaces-maps-for-evernote-dropbox-photos/id835446337?mt=8

Nope, does not work. Immediately pastes the contents. Probably different in Mac OS.

I was not able to save my TXT files within Evernote either. I download the TXT files for my credit card transactions to import into Excel and I would like to keep them in Evernote. I drag the file into Evernote and it does not show it as a file, it imports the contents in. I just tried putting the TXT file into my Import folder, it did the same. So I just changed the extension to .DOC and it works. If I open it with Notepad, it works without having to change the extension. And I renamed the file in Evernote and it now shows it as a TXT file. So workaround for me....change the extension, import it to Evernote then change it back to TXT. Hope it works for you. This is all in Evernote windows app 6.7 by the way.

Looks intriguing for sure. I would like to see the final release. Although your UI looks different than the regular Evernote, it still seemed linear to me with the grid view of the notes. When I think of "Visualizing" and "Conceptualizing" I think more of like a Mind Map kind of set up where there aren't any grids, rows, columns...it is more free flowing. If you can incorporate something like that, it will fill a hole that Evernote is not filling.

I am not a fan of the new PDF style either. Here is a response from an employee for the reason as far as he could tell:

This is a good idea for sure! Curious, how do you use it? Can you provide examples even a screenshot if possible? I have MindMaps that I would throw in Evernote links but not too many. I would like to learn more and get ideas if possible.

This reminds me of MohioMap which was a great idea so I signed up too. I've been wanting to see my notes "spread" on a canvas that will allow me to connect, view and move around. This may be close to it. We shall see. What is the ETA?

I don't have Grammarly but it does sound like a good idea. I think the more integrations Evernote have with popular productivity tools, the more new customers it will attract. Of course, more integrations also may mean more problems. So they would have to pick and choose. By the way, I assume you are using the desktop app, otherwise it should work on the web app, correct?
