Manage notes

Use Notes to find and change managed notes. Jot saves revisions when you change a note.

Create or edit a note

1. Sign in and open Notes.
2. Select + new, or open a note to edit it.
3. Enter a title and Markdown.
4. Set a collection and slug if you want a specific URL.
5. Add tags, a password, or an expiration time if needed.
6. Select preview to check the rendered note.
7. Set publish this note and list on homepage as needed.
8. Select save.

An empty slug gets an automatic value. A collection places the note under that path. Changing a slug or collection changes the URL; Jot redirects the old URL to the new one.

A draft is visible only to you. An unlisted, published note is readable by URL unless a password or private-site rule applies. The expiration field uses UTC. The note stops being public at that time.

Drop an image on the Markdown field to upload and insert it. See Manage media for other files.

Change several notes

1. Open Notes.
2. Select the notes you want to change.
3. Select publish, unpublish, list, unlist, move to…, or delete.
4. Check the updated notes.

Use move to… to choose an existing collection, create one, or remove the collection. Delete moves notes to Trash. See Recover a note.

See the operation reference for other ways to change notes in bulk.

Use tags and collections

Add tags in the note editor. Type a tag and press Enter or comma. Jot shows tags and collections on your site. A listed, published note can appear on the author homepage, its collection page, its tag page, and an RSS feed. Private-site access still applies to these pages.
