Think of it as a blank sheet of paper ready for your creative inspiration-one you'll file away in a binder after you write it. Note: A note is where you write your content. So we're all on the same page, here's a quick glossary: Throughout this tutorial, we'll be referring to some of the key features of Evernote. There's also a business version if you're working with a large team.įor this tutorial, we'll focus on what can be accomplished with the free version, and where a paid plan is required, we'll call that out. But the premium version has extra features, like the ability to create contact notes from photos of business cards, providing automated suggestions to related notes, and integration with more software like Slack and Microsoft Teams. The free account (Evernote Basic) won't limit you in how many notes you take or how long you can use the product. Works well for me.Note that in this tutorial, all the screenshots are from the web version of the app, but it's similar enough across platforms that you should be able to follow along on any device.Ī quick note about the plan options. Reading notes in Evernote, files in Dropbox, PDF expert/preview for reading and annotating. I frequently return to files later that require further or different annotating as a new project dictates so moving it out of Dropbox doesn't make much sense. I suppose if I really wanted I could use the "open in." Feature to place the annotated file from PDF expert to Evernote, or drag and drop on OS X, but I haven't found the need. I keep all my reading notes in Evernote, however. While I lose out on the organization offered by Evernote, native content searching in Mac OS makes up for having to use a less flexible folder structure (of course Evernote offers this too, but it doesn't make up for the downside we are all encountering)
I store my PDFs in Dropbox and read/annotate in PDF Expert on my iPad or Preview.app on my Mac. I too deal primarily with academic articles and I find Evernote offers neither an ideal reading nor annotating experience. Yes, Evernote does not seem handle this workflow well.
