CheatSheet For the Updated Evernote App

Evernote has recently gone through some changes to streamline the service and make it easier to use. All of the versions – PC, Mac, and Mobile – have seen these changes. It’s still the same great app/service, with all of your notes being saved and synced between devices.

With these changes, you will see a completely new interface that offers a quick glance at everything – including your notes, notebooks, and tags. It make it much easier to find everything. Another big change is replacing the Favorites bar with Shortcuts. Instead of setting your favorites, you can just drag your notes, tags, saved searches, etc., into the Shortcuts area.

Because of all of these great changes, the keyboard shortcuts that are used for the desktop versions of Evernote have been deleted, added to, and changed. Follow the Evernote Cheat Sheet below to find your way around Evernote on the PC and Mac.
