How to move and share content with your team

Why move and share content?

Simplify how you share

You may have work-related content you’ll need to move from an individual account to a team account.

We recommend that you create spaces in the team account to share with your team. In just 4 steps you can share multiple notes, notebooks, and projects easily.

Here is a quick snap shot of what a space can look like below. Your space will include what's new, pinned notes, plus notes and notebooks you move here.

Step 1
Move content from your individual account to your team account

Moving notes & notebooks

  1. From any Mac or Windows desktop computer, log into the individual account that contains notes you'd like to transfer to a Teams account.
  2. Export your notebooks as Evernote XML (.enex) files from this account and remember which folder or directory you’ve saved it to. All your note contents and tags are saved to this ENEX file. You can do this by following the steps in our Evernote Help & Learning article Export notes and notebooks as ENEX or HTML.
  3. Sign out of the individual account you've just exported notes from and sign into a Teams account.
  4. Import the ENEX (.enex) files into the Teams account. You can do this by following the steps outlined in the Evernote Help & Learning article Import notes and notebooks.

Some things to keep in mind:

Here are some important things to keep in mind when exporting your content:

    • You can only export 100 notes or 1 notebook at a time.
    • Exporting is only available using the Evernote desktop app.

Step 2
Set up your space

Create spaces by team, project, or idea

See Getting started with Spaces to learn how to create a space.

Once you move content to the team account you’ll want to create a space and invite your team as needed. You’ll only have to invite a team member one time to a new space, as they will have access to all notes and notebooks that are saved in that specific space.
