Update: Evernote 4.1 for Windows

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

Evernote 4 for Windows got a few nice improvements this morning. If you are using Evernote 4 already, then check for updates. If you are currently using Evernote 3.5, then please download version 4 here. The auto-update from 3.5 to 4 is coming soon.

Here are the new features.

Notebooks Stacks

Visually organizing your notebooks just got easier. Notebook Stacks allow you to group related notebooks together. For example, you can create a ‘Work’ Stack and a ‘Personal’ Stack. Put all of your work projects into one and all your personal notebooks into the other.



Creating a Stack
To create a Stack, drag and drop one notebook onto another or right click on a notebook to add it to a new or existing Stack.

Search in Stacks
Say you’re looking for something that you know is in a particular Stack, but you’re not sure in which notebook. No problem. You can search across all the notebooks contained within a Stack by opening the Search Explanation and choosing the Stack you’re interested in.

The great thing about Stacks is that they will be visible across all Windows and Mac computers where you have Evernote installed. So, you can have your ‘Work’ Stack open in the office and your ‘Personal’ Stack open at home.

Create more notebooks

We’ve increased the total number of synchronized notebooks that you can have in your account from 100 to 250. This increase is very useful for educators that organize student work in Evernote, teams that collaborate on projects using Evernote’s sharing capabilities, and anyone else that uses notebooks to organize their work.

Improved Note Info panel

The Note Info panel now has three possible states, so you can choose how much information you want to see.

  • Completely open: displaying tags, source URL, geo-location, created and updates dates, and more.
  • Partially open: displaying only tags and source URL
  • Closed

Other improvements

  • Installation is now possible even if you do not have administrative access to your machine
  • Improved search for to do and notes with encryption
  • New languages: We now support Korean and Traditional Chinese
  • Updated the Note Info panel

    I’m a Mac premium user and need to share a notebook with a Windows user. Have invited them but they can’t see the share in the WIndows client, any Ideas?

    I find more uses for Evernote every day, a great product.

    • Andrew Sinkov

      Mike, in-client sharing is not yet available on Windows. We’re working on it. For now, they can access it through the Web.

      • Gerry Blumenstock

        When? This is a key feature to use Evernote as our main collaboration software.

  • Soren H

    Any eta on the in-client sharing in the windows client? We were about to buy 4 licens for Evernote to use in some projects based on my knowledge using Evernote on my mac. But I’m surprised to see that the in-client sharing are not available in windows, so now the project group are looking for other solutions… please tell me that and update is close so we can use Evernote!!

    Stacks suck!!!! What am I doing wrong?

    I created a notebook called Certification and it is in the root folder and when I drag another notebook called CCNA and drop it on the folder certification it automatically creates a folder called ‘Notebook Stack’ and add places both notebooks under “notebook stack”.

    No matter how many time I try if always create a notebook called “notebook stack” when I do it. They only thing that works is for me to delete my folder rename Certification and then rename “notebook stack” to Certification and that seems to work.

    Doesn’t seem like the best way to do it.

  • RecoJohnson

    This program is really basic and has very limited space unless you pay for it. I honestly think evernote is really over rated. Dropbox + wordpad = the exact same thing, and isn’t a 60+ megabit download. Why such a huge download? Maybe for Mac users this is amazing or something, but for PC users this seems more of a waste of time than anything.

    Thank goodness for note stacks though. I am glad you moved away from the google style docs organization method, because it was not that great.
