Instructions
You may drag notecards into the outline from either the Tabletop View or Detail View.
- An advantage of using the Detail View is that you are able to view the full content of the notecards as you choose the ones you move.
- A reason to use the Tabletop View is that you can move an entire notecard pile into an outline topic. Dragging a notecard pile into the outline will add all of the notecards within that pile.
In the Tabletop View, drag-and-drop a notecard from the tabletop onto a topic in your outline.
In the Detail View, notecards can be moved by their drag handle (three lines in the upper-right corner, when viewing the content of a notecard).
Moving a notecard into your outline does not remove it from the Tabletop View or Detail View; it only associates the notecard with the topic in the outline. A notecard can be added to outline more than once, if it applies to multiple topics. Notecards placed in the outline are represented by a notecard icon.
On the Tabletop View, notecards that are linked to at least one outline topic are marked with a checkmark in the upper left corner.
To remove a notecard from the outline, drag it out of the outline back onto the tabletop area.
To edit a notecard in the outline, double-click it to open the "Edit notecard" window.
