    You can actually sort the category by adding a number in the beginning (16:02) For example: 1- Personal 2- Family 3- Work After you do that google keep will automatically sort them. :)

    Thank you for the video - VERY HELPFUL! Do you know how to do the following two things?... (1) Is there a way to add another date field, other than the reminder? It appears Reminder simply will not let me change to a date BEFORE the present day, or go back to edit to an earlier day. I ask because I would love it if past/completed events can be put in as a new note - sort of a historical entry of a past appointment or completed event (seems like, if you "miss the boat" and do not enter ahead of time, you are out of luck there). It would just make the Keep app even more useful to add another "custom" date field. (2) How do you somehow tell a date to jump onto your Google Calendar so it shows up there as well as in your Keep notes? Thanks again!

    Thank you for this video Scott, very well done as always. Quick question for you: Do you know if there's a way to search, not only a Note, but a word inside a Note on the mobile application on your smartphone? On a PC, you can search for a Note with the search field and then open it. Then a CTRL-F gives your your browser search feature to look and highlight for specific words inside your note. But on the mobile application, once you've found your Note containing the search word you've requested, I cannot seem to find a way to then search INSIDE the note for that specific word. So if my note is really long it's hard to find the paragraph or sentence in which this word appears. Any idea on how to do that? Or, if it's not there as a feature, maybe you have connections at Google to have them implement it? ;-) Thanks

    No, you do not need a premium version of Google Keep to add reminders to existing notes. This feature is available in the completely free version of Keep. Here's some troubleshooting you can try: - Check if you have the latest version of the Google Keep app from the App Store or Google Play Store. - If you're using a web browser, ensure it's up-to-date

There isn't a single video that shows me how to do this.
