Adding and organizing notes
Your notes can be organizied hierarchially in a treeview.
However, you wont find folders in Mimiri Notes - instead every note can simply contain other notes underneath it - or in other words, a note is also a folder.
This can be quite practical because sometimes you want to store a note at a folder-level and with Mimiri this has always been a design principle. Another principle is that you are in control - you design this hierarchy however fits you!

Note syntax
In general we believe notes should be simple and not contain a lot of formatting - thus the note toolbar in Mimiri does not contain a lot of formatting options by design.
We do however support a few special syntaxes that adds valuable functionality:
Mark as Password
Sometimes in a note you may want to store a login or other sensitive data - for this we recommend using the Mark as Password feature.
To do so, simply wrap the password or sensitive information in a password paragraph using the syntax: p`123abc` or select and press ctrl+shift+c. This will then become p`******` and you can easily copy it to your clipboard by double-clicking or on touch-devices long-pressing it. This prevents exposing these in the case someone else is looking over your shoulder or you are connected to an external screen for a meeting session.
Note: As a principle any special syntax is always visible in the editor, we do not remove any characters, and thus these can easily be edited or removed again - there is no edit / presentation mode toggling in Mimiri Notes.

Screen sharing / screenshots
By default Mimiri Notes is hidden when you share your screen in a call or take a screenshot.
This is for security reasons. It would be unfortunate if your private data is exposed in a screen sharing session.
Likewise when you take a screenshot it is not uncommon for these to be uploaded to cloud services e.g. OneDrive or Dropbox which could cause leakage of sensitive data.
You can toggle this behavior from the camera icon in the title bar.
If it is yellow sharing / screenshotting is allowed.
We recommend keeping Mimiri Notes hidden as your default option and only enable it temporarily when you have a need.
