1. Changing text in Title and Body.
If you change the wording of the title of a Note it works immediately and leaves the Note 'open' for more changes.
If you change the text in the body of a Note and you click on the Save button it does so, but it does not close it.
When left open the Note will be occupying about a quarter of the screen.
If you change the text in the body of a Note and click on the title it causes the Note to be saved but it remains open.
If you change text and do not use the Save button the Note will remain open on screen but it is not saved and could be lost.
If however after making a change you click on the wee ">" icon beneath the Note it will both save and close the Note.
So if you want to close any Note [updated or not] you can use on the wee ">" icon to return to the view of the List which will be at full width in the middle of the screen.
2. "Reminder" or "Add due date"
The above scenarios are true but refer to ‘text’ you have entered - they do not refer to date selections made to either the "Reminder" date or the "Add due date"
Any changes made to these dates using the dialogue boxes must be explicitly saved using the Save buttons or they will be lost.
See note at the official Google website for full details.
Any new information [either text in your web browser or maybe something in an email or text message etc.] you get can be saved in a new Note in your To Do Manager. This is achieved with just a couple of clicks. First select part [or all of] the message you are interested in then use the standard system wide “SHARE” option. A list of Apps will be displayed and you simply tap on the “Add new to-do” icon ** then confirm your action by tapping on “ADD” and a new Note will be created in the To-Do application under your “MyDay” List. Now use the App to customise more settings and / or move the Note to another List.
** assumes you have already installed the App on your smartphone - if not get it here.
A 'tag' is any unique sequence of characters of your choice that starts with the # character [used to identify it as a tag] followed by a meaningful and unique identifier and a space - here we will use an example tag of #any-subject-tag.
If you decide you want a consolidated view of a number of like entries {that address the same topic} by viewing them together just add the same #any-subject-tag to each of the individual Notes.
These #any-subject-tags can be created anywhere in either the title or the body area of Lists / Notes.
When two or more entries contain the same specific #any-subject-tag you can then click on one of them and the App will consolidate all of the Notes into a single view under their respective List names.
For example you can enter something unique like #Car into multiple Notes which can be used to view all related Notes that contain information to do with your car.
This works across all Lists / Notes and other useful examples could be "#Expenses" "#Holidays" "#Insurances" "#Sport" etc.
