Add Content to Your New Note

In MeisterNote, your content is split into different blocks. These blocks make filling a blank page quicker and easier than in traditional word processing software - Simply select and format the blocks depending on the type of content you'd like to create.

Content blocks can be split into four groups:

  1. Text types: Text, headings, line separators. Use these to give your notes structure.
  2. Lists: To-do list, bullet list, ordered list. Add supplementary information with these.
  3. Boxes: Info, warning, tip, quote, icon and code. Use these blocks to add color and highlight key details.
  4. External Media. Embed a variety of external media to embellish your notes.


Unsure where to start? Experiment by adding a few content blocks and moving them around your note using drag and drop.moveblock.gif
