Evernote lets you quickly and easily share any of your notebooks with other people, if you choose. Share notebooks to allow others to view and collaborate on work. For example:
- Organize a group project – Collect all your meeting notes, files and to-do lists in one place.
- Build a creative repository – Save design inspiration, articles and photos.
- Plan a business trip – Put your itineraries, packing list and phone numbers where you can always access them.
Note: Evernote Teams users cannot directly share their default notebook, which is marked with a star.
