Recently I've noticed that upon closing a note card, it creates a duplicate. If I exit the notebook it's in and go back, everything is back to normal. Not a major issue but still a little annoying.
                                                                                                          • Where is the (Bulk) Notes Export function from Notebook ???????

BTW having to go to an individual note and export to PDF (which now doesn't even work ) or some sort of zoho format is by no means the answer ! I still can't see any sort of bulk (or even individual) export function across notes. This is really poor for a notes product that is nearly 4 years old from a "major vendor".  I now have a large number of notes (some with images) that I want to export and

                                                                                                            Hello Team, Just noticed that Email a "thank you" note for this payment is now checked by default. I tried searching in Preferences and there is no way to turn this off. I do not want this to be the default. Is there a way to turn this off?

                                                                                                            We are trying to determine the best method of quoting service hours on quotes but only present the sum amount to a customer, without losing the tracking of quantity of hours for invoicing purposes. Does anyone have a good method they have determined?

                                                                                                            Hi everyone, Just a quick question here. I have located the "Approval Type" in the preferences, which is great, and I am sure we could make use of it. However, I am trying to understand how I can implement an approval "workflow". The business call it
