We have a couple of tips to make the most of it. The collaborator button doesn’t show up when you’re creating or editing notes on mobile, so you need to tap the three dots (lower right) to find the option. Collaborators will have full access to the note and will be able to change its contents, color, and everything else you can edit as the note creator. Tap the background options button (it looks like a painter’s palette), and alongside the standard choice of pastel colors you can also pick from nine images, each designed to fit a particular theme, like recipes or music. On the web, you can click the three dots at the bottom of a note then choose Copy to Google Docs. On mobile, you have to press and hold on the note on the main view, then tap the three dots (top right), then select Copy to Google Docs. Note that background colors or images aren’t copied over. It’s also possible to drag and drop notes into an existing Google Doc. Open the document on the web, and then open the Google apps sidebar by clicking the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the interface. Click the Google Keep icon to see your notes, and you can drag and drop them right in. You can set a specific date and time for your reminder, or you can set it off based on your location. That means Google Keep will ping you when your phone or laptop reaches the specified location. To nest an item on the web, click and drag it via the six-dot handle just to its left, then drop it on top of another item and slightly to the right to create a nested list. In the mobile app, swipe any list item to the right and it will indent and nest under the item on top of it. On the web, tap the three dots at the bottom of a note then Add label to do just that. On mobile, tap the three dots then Labels. Google Keep will put your labels on the left-hand sidebar for easy access, and you’ll be able to edit them directly from there. To do this on mobile, tap the menu button (three horizontal lines in the top left-hand corner) to display the sidebar. You’ve got a variety of brushes and pens to pick from, plus a selection of different colors. Even better, assuming your handwriting is neat enough, Google Keep can scan any handwritten text included in your drawings so you can search your doodled notes for specific terms. Correction January 28, 2022: An earlier version of this story said you could not nest items in the mobile app. You can.
