Evernote unveils new desktop app for Windows
Evernote has unveiled a new version of its desktop app for Windows. The update brings user interface improvements, better search options and an improved sidebar.
The update to the Desktop app bring the ability to add colors to important notebooks and tags for quicker identification. To do this, right-click on a desired notebook or tag, select ‘Style’ and pick your preferred color. The color will be immediately be applied to your selection in the sidebar.
In a blog post, Evernote has listed the changes to its sidebar. They are,
- Select ‘Notebooks’ to pull up all your notes in the Note List. Expand the ‘Notebooks’ section to reveal all the notebook stacks and notebooks not organized into a stack.
- Drag and drop a notebook into or out of a stack to move it to a different location.
- ‘Trash’ now sits permanently as its own section, permitting easier access to deleted notes.
Slender sidebar option
In this update, we’re introducing the option to collapse the left sidebar into a thin navigation strip—ideal for when you need that little extra bit of working space.To activate this feature, select ‘View > Left Panel’ from the Evernote menu (or use the F10 shortcut). The slender sidebar retains all the key navigation elements of the full sidebar, so you can quickly find a specific notebook or tag by clicking on its respective icon.
Quick navigation by hovering
We added a new feature to let you quickly jump to a specific notebook. When you hover over the ‘Notebooks’ section, you’ll see the option to either search for an existing notebook or create a new one. This feature applies to the ‘Tags’ section too.Keeping work and life separate
Evernote Business users will see a noticeable change in the arrangement of their content. Previously, personal and business notes, notebooks, tags, and shortcuts existed together within their individual sections, and it wasn’t always obvious which type of content you were looking at. We addressed this ambiguity in our latest version of Evernote.
