# Notes Widget The notes widget allows you to write down quick notes on your home screen. It is not enabled by default, but you can add it by tapping on the "Edit widgets" button at the bottom of the home screen and selecting "Add widget" > "Notes". ## Usage ### Editing The notes widget consists of a text field that you can use to write down notes. Basic markdown syntax is supported:

- `**Bold**` - `*Italic*` - `` `Monospace` `` - `# Heading 1` - `## Heading 2` - `### Heading 3` - `#### Heading 4` - `##### Heading 5` - `###### Heading 6` - `--- Horizontal rule` - `> Quote` - ` ``` Code block ``` ` - `- List item` - `1. Ordered list item` - `- [ ] Unchecked task` - `- [x] Checked task` - `[Link](https://example.com)`

### Export notes Notes can be exported as markdown files. To do so, tap the more_vert icon in the bottom right corner and select "Save". ### Add notes A new instance of the notes widget can be added by tapping the more_vert in an existing notes widget and selecting "New note". ### Dismiss notes Notes can be dismissed by tapping the more_vert icon in the bottom right corner and selecting "Dismiss". If you dismiss a note, the widget will be removed, unless it is the last instance of a note widget. In this case the note widget's content will be cleared instead. ## File linking An instance of a notes widget can be linked to a file. If a file is linked, the content of the file is kept in sync with the note widget's content. To link a file, tap on the link icon and select a file. If the notes widget is not empty and you select a file that is not empty, you will be asked which content you want to keep. To unlink a file, tap on **link_off Unlink**.
