Evernote Web Gets List View

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

The new Evernote Web continues to get better and better. In addition to numerous behind-the-scenes improvements, this week we’re adding a much requested feature: List View. Sign into Evernote Web to see it in action.

List View

You now have two ways to display notes in Evernote Web: Snippets View and List View. To change the way your note list is displayed, click on View Options above the note list, then select List View.


When you initially switch views, the list will extend all the way to the bottom of the window. Once you click on a note, the note view pane will appear. As always, you can edit and share the note by clicking on the appropriate buttons above the note list.

You can resize the note view pane by bringing your mouse to the horizontal line above the pane, then click and drag to resize to your liking. To hide the note pane, click Close Note and you’ll be able to scroll through the note list at full window height.

More to come

Evernote Web keeps getting more powerful. Lots more to come…

    Evernote is a fantastic tool, and an amazing accomplishment!

    I have a feeling I’m vastly outnumbered, but I intensely dislike the new Evernote Web layout. The list view is so large, and (for me, at least) not adjustable so that it takes up less screen real-estate, that the web application is inconvenient for me to use. I’ve switched back to the “old” view, which was much more usable for me, but I assume it will be going away at some point.

    Just my point of view, of course. And I hate to complain without having a definite suggestion for improvement, but I just don’t have one (at least not one that would not inconvenience other users).

    Great tool! Could we have it so the list view can be configured with the panes vertically as well? I would just like a list of the title of my notes, vertically down next to the note itself. Or perhaps you could change the “Left Panel” so that it expands like a tree to show the note titles? This would be great

    As someone who has a large number of notes that have a lot of text, I’d like to see a horizontal split added as an option vs. the vertical split. I want to see my list of notes on the left, and the note I’ve clicked on the right. Love this app!

  • Jimmy C

    (sigh) I could’ve just typed “what Alice just said 6 days ago”.

  • Kris

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the “Sync” column in the list view mean? If there’s a dot, it means . . . what? Thanks!

    • Kris

      Ah, drat — not only a stupid question, but irrelevant. Sorry!

      • betford2

        Not a stupid question at all…I was wondering the same thing. Some of my notes show dots while others don’t. What is the answer?

  • Len D’Alberti

    ok – I give up; where is “View Options” ? I don’t see anything above the note list… or is this a ‘premium’ feature?

    thanks.

    The user interface for the Evernote web client has changed slightly since this blog post was originally published. The ‘view options’ are now located in the lower-left corner of the Note List.

      damn; should’ve spotted it – thanks!
