Templates make getting straight to work easier. Simply create a note from a template or apply a template to a new note. Evernote features a list of templates to help you save time and effort. Some of these include:
- Meeting Agenda
- Annual Calendar
- Weekly Planner
Explore our gallery of free templates at evernote.com/templates.
Overview
Templates are pre-formatted notes that you can use and reuse. There are two ways to create a note from a template:
1. Apply a template to a new note.
2. Create a note from a template.
Apply a template to a new note
When creating a note from scratch, click My Templates (under "Start from a template") and select one of your templates. The template will automatically be applied to the new note, and you can edit it as you normally would.
Create a note from a template
Navigate to the Templates section, choose a template that you have already created, and click Use this template on the yellow banner at the top of the note. This will generate a new note based on the selected template.
