Folding

Learn how to get a better overview of large notes by using folding to hide parts of the note. Folding is useful when creating outlines for your notes and when you want to focus on what you're working on at the moment.

You can fold headings and indented lists by hovering the mouse cursor over the section you want to fold, and then selecting the arrow on the left. Folded sections show an arrow regardless of if you hover it or not.

Folding is turned on by default. To turn off folding, open Settings → Editor, and then turn off Fold indent or Fold heading, depending on your needs.

To toggle all sections at the same time, use the following commands:

To collapse all sections, open the Command palette, and then select Fold all headings and lists.
To expand all sections, open the Command palette, and then select Unfold all headings and lists.

Tip

If you prefer to fold using your keyboard, you can assign hotkeys to the Fold less and Fold more commands.

Fold less unfolds the section at the text cursor.
Fold more folds the section or list that contains the text cursor.
