You are also Offered some basic formatting options like adding a hyperlink and removing the formatting from the current note.

To add a new section in the current notebook click the “section” link and you will be prompted with a text box to name the new section. Once again I will just use the default names.

Here I have added a few sections to show what it looks like.

The left box will show an outline of the new notebook we have been working on. My notebook is there with two sections.

Now lets add a note to section one of our new notebook. Select the section on the left pane and simply type in the box.

You can add labels to any note to keep them organized. This can be very helpful as you fill up your notebook with information. Be sure to be as clear as possible when making your label system, you will thank yourself later.
