# Notes Management
|
|
VNote adopts **notebooks-folders-notes** hierarchy for notes management. A notebook corresponds to a directory in the file system, which is called **Notebook Root Folder**. Folders of a notebook correspond to directories within the Notebook Root Folder. Notes inside a folder corresponds to files within that directory.
|
|
|
|
## Notebook
|
|
Notebook is an independent, self-explanatory container in VNote. A notebook is a **Notebook Root Folder** in the file system. The root folder contains all the notes and configuration files of that notebook.
|
|
|
|
### Create A Notebook
|
|
You could create a new notebook by specifying following fields:
|
|
|
|
- **Notebook Name**
|
|
- Name of your notebook in VNote. It is only used to identify your notebook in VNote. It will not be written into the configuration of the notebook.
|
|
- **Notebook Root Folder**
|
|
- Choose an **EMPTY** directory in your system to hold all the contents of this notebook. This choosen directory is assumed to be in the control of VNote.
|
|
- **Image Folder**
|
|
- This is the name of the folder used to store local images of notes. VNote uses a given folder which has the same parent folder of the notes to store images of those notes.
|
|
- **Attachment Folder**
|
|
- This is the name of the folder used to store attachment files of notes.
|
|
|
|
### Migrate and Import A Notebook
|
|
A notebook is an independent directory in the file system, so you could just copy or synchronize the *Notebook Root Folder* to migrate a notebook.
|
|
|
|
You could import an existing notebook into VNote by selecting its *Notebook Root Folder* when creating a notebook. VNote will try to read the configuration files to restore the notebook.
|
|
|
|
Combining these, you could create your notebooks in a directory which is synchronized via third-party service, such as Dropbox and OneDrive, and then in another computer, you could import that directory into VNote as a notebook. With this, you could use VNote to edit and manage your notes, which will be synchronized by other trusted services, both at home and at work.
|
|
|
|
## Folders
|
|
The hierarchy of folders within a notebook is the same as that of the directories within the *Notebook Root Folder*. You could create as many as possible levels of folders theoritically.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
You could import external files into VNote as notes by the `New Notes From Files` action in `File` menu. VNote will **copy** selected files into current folder as notes.
|
|
|
|
In theory, a note in VNote could use any suffix. Notes with suffix `.md` will be treated as Markdown files. |
