YMMV.⭐⭐⭐ Free plan available subscriptions with more features start at $7.99/month So you hit some hot key combo and the text gets inserted. IAC, if you do need archiving a simple workaround, pending EN adding archive functionality, is to use a text expander like PhraseExpress to add -tag:archive to a search. Most of my searches are displayed in reverse date order so anything that might get archived is on the bottom of the list anyway. Doesn't mean others don't need it, just doesn't make any difference to me. Use cases vary, I'm up to 34k notes after 9 years and have no need of an archive function. Well, if you are new to EN I would give it a while and see what you think. Can you please set me straight on this? Thank you. I don't want to have to type -tag:archived every time I do a search.

So NOT including the archive items for me would be default, and then if I ever want to include archived items I would want to specify it. I'm very new to EN, and after seeing this discussion my question is, 'Is there a way to automatically make searches not include archive tags?' It seems to me that the whole purpose of archiving something is to remove it from searches so it doesn't get in the way of current content. Use that to your advantage and you can stop messing around with all this folder and notebook creation. And no need to create all the notebooks in EN should need to import the notes back.Īs you note, the export and import functions preserve tags.

Why not just tag the notes accordingly? Then there's no need to create all these subfolders underneath Dropbox/Evernote Archives. Something really cool about exporting and importing is that if you use Tags with your Notes, the Tag data gets exported with your Notes which can serve you well later for searching. The notes are very easy to import back into Evernote, but when you do, you'll want to make sure that you set up your Notebooks agan in Evernote so you know where to put them. Subfolders: Dropbox/ClientABC/Technology Requirements (all of the Technology Requirements notes get archived here)ĭropbox/ClientABC/User Interviews (all of the notes from the User Interviews folder get archived here) As I start to archive this information, I'll create the following foldersin Dropbox:

In the Notebook Stack, I have Notebooks by major area of the project such as Technology Requirements, User Interviews, Software Solution Research, Cost Estimates, etc., and each of those Notebooks has a bunch of Notes within them. I have a Notebook Stack for Client ABC, so let's call that ABC Notebook Stack. I have Client ABC that I did some work for a while back, but I don't have any work coming up with them for the foreseeable future. I'm really good about using notebooks to organize projects, topics, etc., especially since I do some consulting work as well as teaching. In cases where I am using Notebook Stacks, I create a folder in Dropbox with the name of the Notebook Stack, and then have subfolders in there named after each Notebook in the stack, and then export the Notes to the appropriate folder in Dropbox. Since Evernote only lets you archive Notes and not Notebooks, I wanted some way to keep these organized like I had in Evernote should I ever need to bring them back. In that folder, I have subfolders using the name of the Notebook in Evernote that I want to archive. I use Dropbox for many things, so I have created a Dropbox folder called Evernote Archives. So here's what I just came up with, because I've been wanting to declutter my Evernote but still maintain some organization should I need the notes later on.
