The bar at the bottom is the dock. It switches between Deck, Gallery and Search. When a note is open, the dock shows that note's controls instead. On a phone, a note opens over the page; on a wide screen, it opens in a pane beside it.
While on Gallery, tap Gallery in the dock again to choose Reminders, Archive or Trash. You can also hold the Gallery tab to open those choices. Open Settings with the settings button in the Gallery header.
Keep private notes in the encrypted vault or share an ordinary note with a read-only link or a Markdown copy.
Settings and accounts lists your preferences. FAQ covers privacy, exports and current limits. Administrative controls are covered separately in Admin guide.
