Updates - See What's New: Benefits & Features of Using Google Keep

Google Keep takes it a couple of steps further as compared to Google Tasks -> no sharing.  First, follow the steps below to access Google Keep:






Once you are able to access, enjoy the great features of Google Keep as illustrated below:


Share your notes via Gmail, great for collaboration. 





You may set alarms to remind you of a task/to do list. 




Create a Google Document straight from your notes through the option Copy to Google Doc
App is available on mobile devices.




Label your notes by using tags. When tag is searched, all notes that were labelled as such 
will be seen on one page.






Color code your notes, there are 8 available colors. I have labelled mine according to the 
Google App the note corresponds with. 




Add an image to your notes, great for the visual learners. Add a "To-Do" list as well with check boxes that you make tick of as you complete tasks.



CHECK OUT THE LATEST UPDATES

ON ANDROID - You can now take down notes and draw using your handwriting. You may also use your voice to take down a note/reminder.



You may use the handwriting/drawing tool icon to start a note from scratch or you may annotate a note you have previously taken - how cool is that?!  I always get ideas from +Lee Webster's #GoogleDemoSlams.  I check out what's recommended and some, I blog about, hence the check mark on the tip I blogged about yesterday. 

GOOGLE KEEP CHROME EXTENSION

Take the numerous features of Google Keep a step further by downloading the chrome extension.



Once downloaded, it will give you this icon on your desktop bar.



When you stumble upon a website, image or even a text selection you wish to save, just click on the icon above and you will get this prompt to add notes on to it.





Furthermore, you can add your tags/labels, can't get anymore organized than that!



All these additions will automatically be saved on Google Keep.  These are the reasons why I love this app so much!
