Organize notes and imported PDFs in Samsung Notes

To begin, open the Samsung Notes app, and then tap the Pencil icon or Add (the plus icon) at the bottom.

You can start typing your note or pop out the S Pen to draw on the screen.

To select a template for your note, tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Page template.

Swipe up to see all the available templates. Simply tap a template to select it.

You can also add your own templates by tapping Add (the plus sign) and choosing from your Gallery. These templates will be added at the bottom of the screen under Downloaded.

When you’re finished with your note, tap the Back arrow and your note will be saved under All notes. Tap Menu (the three horizontal lines), and then tap All notes to view it.

Open the Samsung Notes app, and then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines). Tap Manage folders to view your current folders.

Tap + Create folder to add a new folder, and then enter a name for the folder. You can also choose a color for the folder. Tap Add. Your new folder will appear under Folders.

If you’d like to add a subfolder, tap the folder you just created, and then tap Create subfolder in the popup menu.

Name your subfolder, select a color, and then tap Add. You’ll see your subfolder underneath your original folder.

If you don’t like the names you entered for the folders, you can change them. Tap a folder, and then tap Rename in the popup menu.

If you'd like to remove a folder you aren't using any more, tap the folder, and then tap Delete in the popup menu. Tap Move to Trash. Keep in mind that deleting a folder will also remove its contents.

You can also move notes directly into folders. Navigate back to the Samsung Notes home page, and then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines). Tap All notes, and then touch and hold your desired note. You can select multiple notes if you wish.

Tap Move, and then tap your desired folder. Tap Move again to confirm. Your note will now be saved in that folder.

To sort notes and folders, navigate back to All notes, and then tap the Sort icon (it looks like a checkmark with three lines).

You can sort by Title, Date created, and Date modified.

Open the Samsung Notes app, and then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines).

Tap All notes at the top, and then swipe up to locate the note that you keep losing.

Touch and hold the note once you’ve found it, and then choose from the options at the bottom of the screen. You can move it to a new folder or an existing folder, so you’ll be able to find it later.

This menu also lets you lock, share, or delete the note. You can also tap More options (the three vertical dots) and select Save as file, Duplicate note, Add to favorites, or Move to Secure Folder.

To make sure you don't lose the note again, you can favorite it! Leave the current menu and open the note normally. Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap the Star icon. Tap Back, then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines), and then tap Favorites to view your favorited notes in one place. You can also tap More options (the three vertical dots), from the main Samsung Notes page and then tap Pin favorites to top to make them even easier to find.
