Using Notes

What Notes Save

Notes are saved to your account and can include a title, content, tags, source page URL, source page title, priority, color, and status. They are useful for turning confusion into a follow-up list.

  • Priority: Low, medium, or high.
  • Color: Default plus blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple, and pink labels.
  • Status: Pending, addressed, or archived.
  • Tags: Comma-separated tags for search and organization.

Managing Notes

The Notes page lets you create, edit, delete, mark addressed, restore to pending, and archive notes. It also supports search, filtering by status or priority, sorting, and tag discovery.

A Good Notes Workflow

  1. Capture the issue

    Write the question or concept that slowed you down. Add the page context when relevant.

  2. Assign priority

    Use high priority for items likely to affect exam performance soon.

  3. Tag the domain or topic

    Use tags like pediatrics, splints, ethics, burns, or documentation so you can search later.

  4. Resolve deliberately

    Mark the note addressed only after you have reviewed the concept and practiced it.

Avoid Note Piles

Use the addressed status aggressively. Notes should become a short action list, not a second study library you never revisit.
