Apple Notes Tidbit Who Knew?

I just discovered that clicking on the light gray date information at the top of an Apple Note toggles it between created and edited dates. I discovered this by accident.

Kudos on the discovery! I would like to note, however, that this is one of the frustrating things about Apple in particular and modern tech in general - a lack of things actually being documented or called to the users’ attention.

I’m sure there’s a KB article buried on Apple’s site somewhere that covers the feature you unearthed by accident, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if Apple cranked out a short video about all the cool stuff you could do in each of their main apps?

I absolutely agree! I appreciate good design but sometimes it can be absolutized to the detriment of good function. When features are hidden applications lose some of their value proposition. This is a needless loss.

Well spotted @Bmosbacker , did not know that. I wonder how many other ‘features’ are undocumented?
