You can still click on its title and, for example, open the entire note in the same separate window that appears when you created it. Sticky Notes are meant to be the fastest possible way to get an idea out of your head or maintain the website you want.Īlso note that if you move a sticky note to another folder in Apple Notes, it will still be a sticky note. Quick Notes isn't like a word processing document where it's worth taking a moment to decide exactly where to save it. But notes have to go somewhere, and always creating them in a new inbox called Sticky Notes means we don't have to think. The new Quick Notes folder in Apple Notes is an inbox, and you don't need to leave anything there. There is currently no way to save a sticky note directly to any other folder.Įxcept once you've created a Sticky Note, you can go to Apple Notes, drag it out of that folder, and drop it wherever you want. Specifically, any notes you create this way go into a new folder called Sticky Notes. The second criticism though was that it doesn't actually use exactly Apple Notes, it uses a new subset of it.

When you return to that page, the quick note appears and is now a thumbnail of the note you saved earlier. Now you see why Apple shows a large white square in the bottom left: now it can show you more. Go back to the Safari web page you added a sticky note about. But luckily you can change the key combination to something else, and that will work. It clearly isn't or you couldn't write the words Quick Note.
