How to Use Google Keep
Google Keep is Google's free note taking app that makes it easy to type, dictate, draw or snap a photo to create a note. Keep's desktop version, Android and iOS apps synchronize seamlessly so that your notes are always accessible across all devices.
As part of the Google family, Keep integrates with Google Calendar and Contacts, and other Google products you may already be using. In addition to time and location-based reminders, Keep also allows you to share notes for live collaboration.

The Google Keep app looks and operates almost identical on both the Android and iOS apps. The only time there is a difference between how the app works on these devices is when you interact with the phone's software, such as saving a bookmark to Keep. Here are instructions for the app, desktop versions, and for specific devices as needed.
Accessing Keep
Keep is available as an app (download Keep for Android or download Keep for OS). You can access Google Keep on the desktop using Keep's site. If you are a Chrome user, you may also want to grab the Chrome extension to make it easier to save bookmarks as you surf the web, which we will discuss later. Once you've downloaded the app, or are on the Keep page on your desktop, you will be asked to enter your Google account information.
Google Keep Settings
You can choose preferences for the way you engage, and how Google Keep appears in the Settings menu. On the desktop, find settings by clicking the gear at the top of the screen.

On mobile, find the settings by tapping the three horizontal lines on the top left of the screen. Control the way notes appear, times for reminders and whether you see images on bookmarks with rich links.

Organize Your Notes in Keep
Keep uses labels and colors to help you organize your notes. You can create as many as 50 different labels to organize your notes, and a single note can also have multiple labels.
Desktop: Add labels to multiple notes by hovering over notes and clicking the check mark. Select the note(s) you want to label, click the three dot menu in the upper right, and click change labels, and type the name of the label you want to create.

Whenever you create a new note, type # and begin typing the letters of the label for the note, and Keep will bring up a list of your labels that match. Select the label you need.
Organize Your Keep Desktop
Keep automatically adds the last note created to the top of the Keep workspace. If you have a running to-do list that you want to always appear on top, you can Pin the note so that all the other notes stay behind. Google makes this step really quick and easy by placing a thumbtack icon at the top of both the desktop and mobile versions. Click or tap the thumbtack pin the note at the top of your desktop. You can do this for as many notes as you need to keep on top. To unpin a note, simply click or tap the thumbtack.

If there are notes that you do not want to see on your desktop, but still need, you can archive the note. The note is still in Keep, but you won't be able to see the note on your desktop. Archived notes still show up in a keyword search. The archive button looks like a file folder at the bottom of the note on the desktop version, and at the top on mobile versions.
Archive button on web version of Google Keep
You can see all of your archived notes at once by selecting Archive from the keep menu by tapping the three horizontal lines at the top left side of the desktop and mobile versions. To remove a note from the archive, simply re-select the archive button.
