Publishing and sharing your notes

April 21st, 2008

Say you’re using Evernote to plan a trip. You’ve been clipping webpages of hotels and restaurants, typing itineraries, snapping photos of your travel documents (just in case). Now, you want to give all of your travel buddies access to this information. Evernote lets you do that.

By default, everything you create in Evernote is private, but you can easily publish any notebook to the web. Here are instructions for how to do this using the web and Mac clients. This is coming very soon to Windows. For now, Windows users can publish their notebooks using Evernote Web.

1. Select the notebook you want to publish
2.
- Web: Click on the Actions dropdown and select Settings
- Mac: Cmd + click on the notebook and select Notebook Settings
3. Click Publish
Optional step: Add a description
4. Copy the URL (don’t click the URL yet, the notebook isn’t saved)
5. Click OK or Save
6. Mac only: Click Sync

That’s it. That URL is now publicly available, so send it to anyone, even subscribe to the RSS feed. Stay tuned for more publishing and sharing options in the very near future.

Here’s a notebook I made during a recent trip to the Napa Valley.

Do you have an interesting public notebook? Post a link in the comments.

    Just curious here about intellectual property law and publishing notebooks that contains clips from newspapers and the like. Seems fraught with risk?

  2. zo says:

    So, are there going to be ads then in all published notebooks?

    And do I understand correctly that you are collecting personal information such as credit card numbers?

    Thanks,
    zo

    what about publishing for collaboration with other users like a “shared” notebook?

    I am very eager to get the feature for sharing my notes with friends only, not publishing them to all the world. When will you have this kind of basic collaboration feature?
    Thanks for the great application!
