Scratch pad

Jot down quick notes and thoughts right in Home. The scratch pad will retain the text you’ve typed. At any point, you can convert it to a note or clear it.

To convert the scratch pad to a note, click or tap the More actions button (three dots), then select Convert to note. You can also use a keyboard shortcut to do this. On Mac, use Cmd + Option + N and on Windows, use Ctrl + Shift + N. When you clear the scratch pad, the content is moved to a note in the trash.

The scratch pad has a limit of 600 characters and only accepts plain text.

Note: Premium, Personal, Professional, and Teams customers can customize the scratch pad color and title. Professional and Teams customers can add more than one scratch pad widget to Home.
