Arranging notes

OUTLINE VIEWS

You can drag notes in an outline window to rearrange the document’s hierarchy.

With the arrow tool, drag a note:

• Drop the note while it is over the right third of another note—while the cursor is a right-pointing triangle—to make the note you are dragging a child of the note you drop it on.
• Drop the note while it is over the middle of another note—while the cursor is an up- or down-pointing triangle—to make the note you are dragging a sibling of the note you drop it on.

(If you let go anywhere else in the outline window, the note you dragged will snap back to its starting location.)

tab

• Press tab on the keyboard to indent the selected note one more level in the outline.

shift-tab

• Hold down the shift key while you press tab on the keyboard to unindent the selected note out one level in the outline.

CHART VIEWS

You can drag notes in a chart window to rearrange the document’s hierarchy. With the arrow tool, drag a note:

• Drop the note while it is over the right third of another note—while the cursor is a right-pointing triangle — to make the note you are dragging a child of the note you drop it on.
• Drop the note while it is over the middle of another note—while the cursor is an up- or down-pointing triangle—to make the note you are dragging a sibling of the note you drop it on.

(If you let go anywhere else in the chart window, the note you dragged will snap back to its starting location.)

TREEMAP VIEWS

In a treemap window, drag a note inside another note to make it a child of that note in the hierarchy.

If the note you are dragging into is mostly covered up (because it has children), you can drop the note you are dragging onto the target note’s title bar.

You can drag notes into and out of each other in a treemap window, to completely re-arrange the hierarchy.
