There's no denying that Evernote is a useful and powerful tool. Millions of people turn to Evernote to organize all that information. Information: Whether we realize it or not, we collect a lot of it-interesting snippets, links, research for school or work, recipes, quotes, and a whole lot more. The app, like Evernote’s elephant mascot, never forgets, making it an invaluable companion for genealogists of all skill levels. While its bread and butter may be text notes, Evernote offers powerful tools that can aid you in your never-ending quest to finding ancestors. Within each view, you can also sort notes by Title, Date Created, Date Updated, Source URL and Size, giving you more flexibility in viewing your data. For example, you might get the best look at a text-heavy note by using the Snippet or Card View.

You might find that you prefer a certain view depending on the notes you’re looking at. Top List View: The notes’ Date Created, Title, Date Updated, Size and Tags appear at the top of the note, with the full content of the note beneath.Expanded Card View: The notes are sorted and displayed as they are in Card View, but more notes are visible at once, and the full note isn’t on the right.Side List View: Only the notes’ Date Updated and Title are listed, with the full note to the right.Card View: The first two or three lines of text are presented in square boxes and sorted by month last updated, with the full note to the right.Snippet View (the default): The first two or three lines of text are presented in rectangular boxes and sorted by month last updated, with the full note to the right.To change your view, either choose View from the top menu and make your selection, or click the View icon at the top of your note list G. Screen views are like bathing suits: You have to try them on to see which one fits you best. Part of staying organized in Evernote is figuring out the right way to view your data.
