Amplenote has released many new updates and features in their biggest quarter of updates ever. We will take a look at five standout latest features, let's get started.
In this article, we examine five new Amplenote features added to their biggest announcement to date. These include calendar syncing, widgets, and colours.
Amplenote always takes note of its users' experience, and suggestions, upgrades, and updates are often voted for and requested. Many more updated Amplenote features are now available, but here are just a few to start with.
Amplenote now allows you to sync Apple Calendar and its existing Google and Outlook sync. This means everyone who also used the built-in Apple calendar to add events from emails or to schedule their time can now import this information into their Amplenote account.
You can still choose to import events from calendars or push events created inside Amplenote into all connected calendars.
A really great update that allows more users to experience the full use of Amplenote, you can learn how to sync calendars to Amplenote here.
Calendar views inside Amplenote have also had a fun new update. You can now use colors to help visualize tasks and add a new dimension to time management. Coordinating tasks using colours is great for quickly scanning your calendar and seeing the types of tasks in store for that day.
For internal calendar events, the color of the task background is determined by the tag you give to the task. When creating a new tag you can choose different colours, for example, if your task is for work you can create a hashtag #work and colourcode it in blue.
For external calendar events, these colors will be automatically imported from your existing calendar. For example, the colors you use for tasks inside Google Calendar will be used in Amplenote. You can change this in the settings if you would like to use your own colours inside Amplenote.
If you're still confused, there's a whole Amplenote calendar colours help page.
You can now add lock screen widgets to your iPhone to add notes or tasks directly to Amplenote. This is super handy for speedily adding any immediate tasks or notes you can arrange later on. Just add the Amplenote lock screen widgets to your home screen and begin. If you are unsure how to add lock screen widgets to your iPhone's home screen, here's how.
Another new great Amplenote feature is the updated version for adding Readwise Sync. Instead of following a long tricky setup process to sync your recently read books, you can now use the Readwise sync plugin that will regularly update inside Amplenote.
You can now see all the highlights and notes for the books you have recently read. You can read more here to learn how to install the Readwise plugin for Amplenote.
This has been the most requested and top-voted addition to Amplenote's new feature list. You can now toggle more than subtasks and bullets, you can toggle heading for entire sections, wherever you want.
Being able to close off, or open sections is beneficial for the workspace, you can focus on certain sections at a time without being distracted or feeling clutter from other parts.
Collapsing these new headers inside Amplenote will only collapse until the next section divider you insert manually. This also works in a hierarchy of headers, so for example, H3 headers below an H2 will be divided until they reach an H1.
If that is still confusing, there's a whole page about outlining headings in Amplenote.So there we have it, five new Amplenote features we thought were good to note.
