New Evernote Web Client: Redesigned Interface and More

Over the past few months, we have introduced radically reworked versions of Evernote for four popular platforms: Windows , Mac , iPhone, and Android . Today we are pleased to present the fifth fully updated representative of the Evernote family: Evernote web client .

All our recent innovations can be grouped into four main areas:

• user interface improvements;
• performance optimization;
• fuller use of the capabilities of each platform;
• implementation of the wishes of users.

Each of these areas has played an important role in our decisions about what should be the new web client Evernote. See for yourself .

Logical, easy-to-use interface

The most noticeable change that you immediately find in the web client is a completely new interface. If you use Evernote clients for Windows or Mac, then a fresh three-panel web interface will seem very familiar to you. From left to right, there is a panel of notebooks with a list of notebooks and tags, a list of notes in the middle, as well as a panel of a separate note, where you can view and edit it. We also placed the search box in a more appropriate place - above the list of notes.



Here are some more remarkable features and capabilities:

• Notepad Sets : you can visually group your notepads into sets by simply dragging one notepad over another or by clicking the arrow that appears when you hover over the notepad and select “Add to Set”.
• Mixed display mode : the new display mode in the form of a header, a fragment of text and a thumbnail image will allow you to get more useful information about the note without opening it - it is very convenient for quickly viewing notes.
• Saved queries : you can use any of the search queries stored in the Evernote application on your computer simply by clicking on the search bar. Saved queries will appear in the drop-down list.
• Selecting and transferring several objects : a new Evernote web client allows you to select several notes at once, holding down the CMD key on a Mac or Ctrl in Windows. After selecting the notes of interest, you can move them to a new notebook, assign them a specific label or send to the trash.
• Automatic saving : when you create or edit a note, you can specify whether Evernote needs to automatically save it as you write or you will save it yourself. The switch of this mode is located above the notes editor.

Quick access to individual notes via Facebook, email and other means.

Our goal is to help you memorize and later easily find all your ideas, ideas and projects, wherever you are. As you add all the new and new information to Evernote, you probably want to share some of its elements with your family, friends and colleagues. That is why we are pleased to announce a significant expansion of sharing capabilities, which includes the rapid opening of access to individual notes via Facebook, mail, or instant messaging applications.



Now you have two great ways to share your notes. If you are working in a team with a group of students or with colleagues on a project, you can share the notebook. Or you can show your friends only a certain note. In the web interface, we accessed both options via the new Share button located above the note. Click on it to access it. It is easy and fast. If for some reason you decide that you do not want to keep the note publicly available, you can simply click on the word “General” in the detailed information about the note to cancel access.



Here is an example of an open note. This is a list of places in Moscow that I would like to visit.

We launched this feature as part of our work on the updated web client and plan to add it to other Evernote clients in the near future. Also, soon you will be able to share your notes via Twitter and other social services.

To view the notebooks that other Evernote users have opened for you, click on the “Linked Notebooks” link under the list of notebooks.

Work is in full swing

Some of the conceived features have not yet been implemented in the new Web client. Among them: filtering notes by attributes, viewing your notes history , printing notes and the ability to save search queries. If you need these functions or you are just not ready to switch to a new web interface right now, you can restore the old look with the help of the link at the top of the login page.

The new web client has undergone not only external changes; it has been completely rewritten to make the basic service architecture faster, more flexible and modern. All this means that Evernote has become better at work now, and in the meantime we plan to add even more great features in the future. Follow the news.
