    Thank you so much! I have been using Google Keep since day one. It's great, but sometimes, I need more formatting options. Being able to move information from Keep to Docs is a game changer. And, the ability to link Keep notes to specific meetings on my calendar is amazing!

    THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME. I've been a Google person from Day 1 (I even own a Pixel). This will TRULY help, especially since I am a pastor and often save helpful reminders with sermons and I present my bulletin on an overhead through Slides. Thank you!!!

    Excellent and simply explained. Personally, I use all the possibilities and always try to maximize the potential of each software. On the other hand, people use only basic options. They are either lazy or completely uninterested. They are surprised when you show them how much potential software has and that it's not just about basic functions. Thanks for the informative video!

    Is there a way to dynamically link a Google keep note into Google docs? I have a Google keep note that i update on a regular basis (on my mobile device) and I want it connected to a Google doc document without having to, manually, copy it into the Google doc every time I make change in the Google keep note.

    Good tip but has a limitation that you didn't mention. Notes to be pasted into a document from keep must be located in the main area for notes. You do not have access to notes that are further down in the archive system. However, this is solved by putting a "Pin" on the note that you want to copy so that it is lifted up and becomes available on the main table. 😊

    is it possible to synchronise google docs automatically with keep notes? Drafts doesn’t has an API with Keep, so I wanted to create a workaround where I can write something in Draft, that gets synchronised with Google Docs and then also in Keep Notes.

    love this - it was really helpful. However, can you help me understand why I would use keep notes over just opening a google doc and typing my notes? I take a ton of notes (from calls, things I ready or hear on a podcast, meetings, trainings, etc). Now I open a doc and type a note or write notes down in a notebook (which I never find later . I want to be more efficient with my notes and actually be able to access the information. Just not sure this isn't just creating another type of document?

    It really comes down to personal preference. The method shown here is primarily for users who take most of their notes in Keep and then may want to add them to a Doc later on.

    How great would it be if in the gdoc, in the comments box, you could bring up a drop down of your keep notes & simply click on it to add as a comment instead of having to copy & paste it. thanks for the video

    Unfortunately, the same connection does not exist with Tasks. You could just add the Doc's share link to the Tasks description as a workaround.
