Apart from the ability to take notes, Supernote offers useful features, such as Headings, Keywords and Stars, to allow you to organize notes in a more effective way. 

Create headings

  1. Open a notebook. 
  2. Tap the lasso icon on the toolbar with your pen. 
  3. Draw a circle around the handwriting you want to set as a heading. 
  4. Tap the H icon in the rectangle to choose a heading style. 

Once a heading is created, it will appear in the Navigation Window (or TOC as some of our users call it) the same way you wrote it. There is a number that appears to the right of the title. It indicates the number of the page on which the heading was created. 


Create keywords

  • Using the lasso tool
  1. Open a notebook. 
  2. Tap the lasso icon on the toolbar with your pen. 
  3. Draw a circle around the handwriting you want to set as a keyword. 
  4. Tap the keyword icon in the rectangle.
  • Using the toolbar
  1. Open a notebook.
  2. Tap the three dot More menu on the toolbar.
  3. Locate and tap the Add Keyword button.
  4. Enter a new keyword and tap the Add button. Or select one from the list of recently used keywords. 

Keywords can be recognized and converted to digitized text. They will show up under the Keywords tab in the Navigation Window. There is also a number that appears to the right of each keyword. It indicates the number of the page where they were added. 


Create stars

As for stars, it takes less steps to create one. Simply draw a star shape in one stroke and it will be converted to a perfect digitized star. When drawing the star shape, make sure lines are not overlapping , otherwise it won't be recognized.

Similarly, stars will also appear in the Navigation Window, along with the pages where they were created. 

Note: Titles, keywords and stars can only be created on the Main Layer in the notes. 


Delete headings, keywords and stars

  1. Tap the Navigation Window icon on the toolbar.
  2. Under the Headings tab, tap the cross symbol to the right of the heading you want to delete. 
  3. Under the Keywords tab, tap the cross symbol to delete keywords one by one.
  4. Under the Stars tab, long press the page that contains stars you want to delete before tapping Erase Star.

Note: Headings, keywords and stars cannot be undone once deleted. 


Navigate notes using headings, keywords and stars

Headings, stars and keywords are great features you can use to organize and navigate notes. 

  • Open the Navigation Window and tap a heading or keyword to quickly jump to the specific page where the title or keyword was created. 
  • As an alternative, you can swipe down from the top of the screen and tap to search for specific notes using keywords and stars.
