Start with the task you are trying to complete. Open only the guidance you need.

Create your first noteStart a note, confirm it is saved, and find it again.
  1. 1In an empty library on mobile, use New note for a blank note or choose Import your notes. On larger screens, choose Create your first note or click the blank note sheet.
  2. 2Choose the kind of note you want, then add a useful title and your content.
  3. 3Watch the saving message. Close the editor after the latest changes are saved.
  4. 4Open Quick Find with Command K on macOS or Control K elsewhere when you want to return to the note.
Good to know: If saving is interrupted, reopen the editor and use the local draft recovery prompt before replacing your draft.
Write and organize notesChoose your writing view and give each note a reliable home.
  1. 1Use the visual editor for familiar formatting, Markdown source for direct control, or source with preview to see both.
  2. 2Add headings, tasks, tables, code, links, images, diagrams, math, or other supported Markdown when you need them.
  3. 3Put a note in one folder and add as many useful labels as you need.
  4. 4Use Favorite for a separate library view and Pin for the small shelf at the top. A note can use either or both.
  5. 5Choose Archive note when you want to clear reference material from the working library without deleting it. Find it later in Library → Archive.
Good to know: Reader appearance presets change how Markdown looks without changing the stored note.

Find notes with Quick FindSearch notes, organization, files, and processed content from one place.
  1. 1Press Command K on macOS or Control K elsewhere, or open Quick Find from the workspace.
  2. 2Search for a title, phrase, folder, label, filename, document text, or completed transcript detail.
  3. 3Open the best result and use its preview to confirm it is the item you wanted.
  4. 4Turn on Include Archive when the note may be archived. AI-powered matching is optional; ordinary search remains available when it is off.
Good to know: A new or changed file can take a short time to appear while Search indexes it. Quick Find shows when coverage is still catching up.
Import or export notesBring an existing library in carefully or take a portable copy out.
  1. 1For an import, open Import existing notes, choose the source, and upload the matching export file.
  2. 2Review the preview, warnings, detected notes, and organization before confirming.
  3. 3After completion, check the created notes. Use the import record's Undo action if the batch is not right.
  4. 4Export one note from its menu, or create a portable archive when you want a reusable copy of your library.
Good to know: Keep the original source export until you have checked the result. Import size limits and some export formats depend on your plan.
Use the AI assistantChoose context deliberately and review proposed note changes.
  1. 1Open the assistant and choose the notes, files, images, or other context that is relevant to your request.
  2. 2Use Private chat when the assistant should receive only the text in your current message and Asterive's general product help.
  3. 3Describe the outcome you want. For a rewrite, say whether the whole note or only one section should change.
  4. 4Review the proposed action or diff. Apply it only when the result and affected note are correct; otherwise reject it.
Good to know: AI capacity depends on your plan. If a note changes while you are reviewing a proposal, start again from the latest version instead of forcing the older change.
Share, recover, or deleteControl who can read a note and recover or remove information intentionally.
  1. 1Use Share note to create a read-only link. A private note is not published merely by opening its sharing controls.
  2. 2Expire, replace, or stop a share link whenever it should no longer work.
  3. 3Ordinary deletion moves a note to Trash. Restore it there if you change your mind, or choose permanent deletion when it should leave Trash.
  4. 4Use note history when you need an earlier saved version. Restoring a version waits for your review before changing the note.
  5. 5To delete your account, start the email-code-confirmed process in Settings. Access stops after confirmation while account deletion proceeds.
Good to know: Moving a shared note to Trash disables its public link. Restoring the note does not publish that link again.
Troubleshoot a problemTry the safest recovery step and collect useful details for Support.
  1. 1Read the visible saving, upload, processing, AI, or update message. It often identifies what is waiting.
  2. 2Confirm that the device is online and that any requested file, microphone, camera, or location permission is still allowed.
  3. 3Preserve any local draft, wait for active processing to finish, and then retry once.
  4. 4If the problem repeats, note the browser or device, approximate time, file or source type, action you tried, and exact message.
  5. 5Send those details through Support under the closest category.
Good to know: Never include your password, verification code, or a share link containing sensitive material in a support request.
