Quick Tip: Create a Table of Contents Using Note Links

Tips + Guides | By Kasey Fleisher Hickey
 


Note Links allow you to associate your notes with each other, helping you create a customized organization structure inside your Evernote account. You can learn more about using Note Links by reading this blog post.

Note Links are great for linking together different pieces of travel-related information like itineraries, articles and passport photos, as well as organizing project elements and class research. One of the coolest things you can do with Note Links is create a table of contents for a set of notes inside of a notebook. This is particularly useful if you are sharing a notebook with other individuals.

To do this:

  1. Grab the Note Link to a note by right-clicking on the note and selecting to Copy Note Link.
  2. Create a New Note in your notebook or go to a note where you’d like that Note Link to go.
  3. Paste the link (it will show up as the hyperlinked title of your note) into your New Note or existing note.
  4. Do this for all other notes you’d like to include in your table of contents, putting them in the order that you’d like people to look through the notebook.

You can perform this as a batch action, too. Select multiple notes, right click and then add them to your new or existing note.

    I didn’t know about it till I saw this and its been a real help since. I manage a fleet of about 90 vehicles and do separate notes for each one and also for any damage. I can now link the “damage” note to the main vehicle note.

    This sounds really great. But what am I doing wrong? I created a Table of Contents (with a list of notelinks), and then I put the note into a public shared folder, hoping that whoever viewed the folder could access the links.

    I’m assuming that they can’t see the links because they’re just viewing (rather than joining) the folder — is that correct?

    If so…

    Is there a way that I can share publicly a group of notes from Evernote via URL or email? I know that you can just select several notes and then email them to someone, but I don’t like how they display — note after note. I’d rather have the person view them as links. Is this possible?

    Is there a way to do this within one note? Thanks. :)
