Settings
This page is for the person who writes the notes. It states each section of the Settings page, what each control does, and where the choice is kept.
Open Settings
Select your avatar at the right end of the header, then select Settings. You can also open the command palette with Ctrl + P (Command + P on a Mac) and select Go to Settings. The list under On this page jumps to each section.
Some sections act on one workspace. They act on the workspace that you have open. A choice of this kind follows you to every device. A choice of a device stays on this browser only. Each section below states which kind it is.
Profile
Your name appears with your account. Type it in Name and select Save. The page shows your email address under the name. You sign in with that address, and you cannot change it here.
Appearance
- System, Light and Dark choose the light. System follows the device.
- Theme chooses the colours. Default is the theme that a new account starts with.
- Import a theme adds a theme file with your own colours. See Your own theme.
- Download this theme saves the theme that you use as a file, so you can change it and import it again.
- Imported themes lists the themes that you imported. Delete removes one. A deleted theme that you used gives way to Default.
The choice applies at once on this device. It then goes to your account, so a new device starts with it. The avatar menu also has a Theme row that moves from System to Light to Dark.
Spelling
Check spelling lets your browser mark the words that it does not know in a note. It does not check code or addresses. The settings of your browser choose the languages. This choice belongs to your account. See Spelling.
Daily notes
These settings apply to the workspace that you have open, and they follow you to every device. See Daily notes for the date tokens and the placeholders.
- Template is the note whose text starts each new daily note. No template starts an empty note.
- Open today's note when the app opens opens the note of today when the application starts on the list of notes.
- Folder is the folder of the daily notes. Leave it empty to keep them at the top of the workspace.
- Name format makes the name of each note from date tokens. A slash makes a folder. The line under the fields shows the name of the note of today.
A folder and a format save when you leave the field or press Enter. The page names what to change when a format cannot make a name.
Templates
Folder is the folder that holds your templates. Insert from template in the command palette lists the notes in this folder and in its subfolders. The line under the field states how many templates the folder holds. The setting applies to the workspace that you have open and follows you to every device. See Templates.
Available offline
Your notes are always kept on this device. Images and older versions take more space, so this section asks whether to keep them too.
- Keep images on this device is for the images of the workspace.
- Keep older versions on this device is for the older versions of each note.
This browser keeps each choice for your account and the workspace that you have open. A box shows as on only while everything of its kind is kept, so a new image can turn it off again. See Working offline.
Export
Export all notes downloads every note and image of the workspace as one zip file. The files keep their folders, and any Markdown editor reads them. See Export.
Import
Import workspace reads a zip file of Markdown files and images into the workspace that you have open. The files keep their paths and their links. The page states how many notes and images it imported. An import stops when a file of the zip has the path of a note that is already there.
Account
This section states how much of its storage limit your account uses. Your account owns every note in your workspaces, and no other account can read them.
An administrator also sees Manage accounts, which opens the accounts page. See Accounts and invitations. When the installation has terms and a privacy notice, this section links them.
Billing
This section shows only when the installation has a billing service. Select Open billing to see and change your plan, your payment method and your invoices. The billing pages open in the same tab and know your account, so you do not sign in again. A locked account opens billing from the screen that it signs in to.
API keys
Create a separate key for each program that needs your account. Each key has all your current access and stops at its expiry. A new key appears once. Select Revoke to stop a program at once. See API keys and programs.
Sessions
Each device that is signed in to your account has one row, with its browser, its system, and when it was last active. The device that you use now says This device.
- Sign out on a row signs out that device.
- Sign out every other device signs out every device but this one. Use it when another person can know your password, then change your password.
Sign out
Sign out on this device ends the session on this browser. When some saves have not reached the server yet, the section says so, and you choose:
- Sign out and keep them keeps the saves on this device for the next sign-in.
- Sign out and remove them removes them from this device for good.
Delete account
Delete my account deletes your account and every note in your workspaces for good, and signs you out on every device. Enter your password to confirm. Export your notes first if you want to keep them. The last administrator of an installation first makes another account an administrator.
