Pro Tips for Shared Notepads

Bookmark Important Notes

Save notepad links somewhere safe. Without the URL, you can't access the notepad again.

Use Password Protection

For sensitive meeting notes or private discussions, enable password protection when creating the notepad.

Export Before Expiration

If your notepad has an expiration date, remember to export or copy the content before it's deleted.

Share Link Early

Share the notepad link at the start of meetings so everyone can follow along and contribute from the beginning.
