Now, let’s finally move to our April Updates!

Starting from April 2021, you can:

➤ Use a Hint object to highlight important phrases;
➤ Import notes in HTML format;
➤ Set the expiration date for guest right in the invitation;
➤ Work even more smoothly in the web client;
➤ Use our desktop versions even more efficiently;
➤ Listen to audio files right from your notes on Android;
➤ Choose a destination folder while moving your notes on iOS!

Use a Hint object to highlight important phrases.

As promised in our previous posts, we’ve added a new Hint object to the editor! Now, you can highlight an important text – a notification, a warning, or a hint. You can also select an icon that best suits your intention. To add the object hint, go to the standard object menu and choose Hint.

Import notes in HTML format!

The other long-awaited feature is HTML import to Nimbus! You asked, we delivered!
Before, you could import your notes only from Evernote. To learn about this option, read our blog article Exporting your notes from Evernote>>

Now, you can import your notes from other services such as Notion, Quip, or Bear. To easily import your notes in HTML format, click on the Import button in the left sidebar or go to the Note menu. For the moment, both options are available only on the web.

Set the expiration date for guest right in the invitation (only for Business Accounts)

As you may know, you can add as many guest as you need to your organization without having to pay for them. Guests have limited rights: they are only allowed to join one workspace for some time.

Find more information about guest accounts in our guide>>

Learn about permissions here>>

Before, you could only set the expiration date for guest access after a guest accepted the invitation. Now, we’ve added the ability to set the expiration date right in the invitation.

Work even more smoothly in the web client.

Use our desktop versions even more efficiently:

Listen to audio files right from your notes on Android!

Choose a destination folder while moving your notes on iOS.

• When moving or copying notes, you can choose not only a destination organization or a workspace, but also a destination folder.
• Small bugs fixed for iOS app.

What’s next?

We’re putting the last touches, and you’ll see in May:

• An outline (or Table of contents) that can be added outside the editor.
• Video and audio recording right from your note in any browser (Firefox and Safari included).
• Search speed optimization: notes indexing in seconds!

We’re continuing our work on:

• Comments in notes;
• Clipper for mobile;
• Custom SMTP server.
