Noteboards in Zoho Notebook

Noteboards in Zoho Notebook

Overview

Noteboards help you organize and view your notes in a more focused way without moving or duplicating them.

Think of a Noteboard as a filtered view of your notes, similar to a Pinterest board. Instead of storing notes in a separate location, a Noteboard displays notes that match specific criteria, making it easier to access related content whenever you need it.

For example, you can create a Noteboard to view:

  • All notes tagged Travel
  • Recent meeting notes
  • Favorite recipes
  • Work-related documents
  • Notes containing checklists

Since Noteboards only display references to your existing notes, any changes you make to a note are reflected everywhere that note appears.
