Keep notes

Keep is for quick, lightweight notes — somewhere to park a piece of text you want to hold on to, without starting a draft you will never send or leaving your inbox to find another app.

Open Keep

• From the apps menu — choose the grid icon in the header, then Keep.
• Or go straight there at /keep.
• Your notes are private to you. Nobody else in the workspace can read them, and there is no way to share one.

Writing and editing notes

• Create a note with a title and whatever you want to keep. Both are plain text, so paste anything in and it stays as typed.
• Edit it later from the edit control on the note, which opens it in a small window where you can change the title, the text, or both, then save.
• Delete a note when you are finished with it. There is no archive and nothing to restore it from afterwards.
• Each change is confirmed, so you know a note saved rather than wondering whether it took.

What Keep doesn't do

Like Tasks, it is kept deliberately plain. A note is a title and some text, and that is all:

• No colours, labels or pinning. Notes sit in one list with no way to group or reorder them.
• No checklists, images or drawings. Text only.
• No reminders or sharing. A note will not notify you, and it cannot be sent to a colleague — paste it into a message instead.
