Simple Guide to Annotating Lecture Notes on Notes+

1: Organise By Subjects

File ogranisation helps your notes stay tidy and easy to find! Customise folders to your liking with 8 folder options & unlimited colours 🤭

2: Import Files

Import your notes via the various options including Files, OneDrive, Dropbox etc! I like to use Files since I save my files on iCloud

3: Workspace Prep

Choose your pen, highlighter, colour presets + edit the toolbar before class! Consistent Tools = Cleaner Notes!! I prefer using pen colours that contrast with the text in my notes, accompanied by similar colours for highlighting 👀

4: External Materials

Refer to external materials as you annotate on Notes+ with its Safari & Video functions! These functions integrate Safari & YouTube (as well as imported videos) onto the app so there's no need to exit and reopen another app/screen! 🌟

5: Note-taking + Review

Annotate as normal! After class, review of content can easily be achieved with the Revealer tool that hides information and tests your memorisation ‼️

6: Export

Lastly, simply export your notes as PDF or Image!

Stay tuned for more study tips & content! ❤️‍🔥✨

... Read moreBeyond the steps shared for annotating lecture notes on Notes+, I found that exploring the app's table feature significantly enhances the structure of my notes. Although not detailed in the original guide, creating tables allows me to neatly arrange data, compare concepts, and organise information logically, making revision more effective. Additionally, integrating videos with closed captions within Notes+ helps me grasp complex topics. This feature not only saves time by keeping all materials in one app but also reinforces learning by allowing me to pause and annotate directly alongside the video. While the guide highlights essential tools like the pen and highlighter presets, I also recommend experimenting with Notes+’s ability to customise folders and use unlimited colours. These customisations make it easier to visually categorise notes, especially when tackling multiple courses or subjects. For even more productivity, try using guided notes that align with your lecture slides. Though not mentioned in the original text, combining this approach with Notes+’s features creates a powerful system to track progress and retain information efficiently. Lastly, exporting your notes as PDFs or images lets you share or print important content easily. I often export study sets this way to review offline or discuss with classmates, reinforcing what I’ve learned and preparing better for exams.
