See it again - Flip through your notes one at a time in the Revisit tab. Starred notes come up more often. - Older notes similar to what you've written lately come up first. Find and sort - Search finds notes even when your words don't match exactly. Sort by star or by date. - On devices with Apple Intelligence turned on, search also finds notes with a similar meaning. Look up β€œbakery” and your dessert notes show up too. - Export and import your notes as a CSV file.
