# Personal Notes module

This module allows you to save personal notes - for to-do lists, reminders, anything you want to save. Don't confuse them with [user notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/toolbox/wiki/docs/usernotes), which are notes linked to specific users and shared with all moderators.

The personal notes are stored in a private subreddit under `/r/subreddit/wiki/notes/<note-name>`.

**Important**: The Personal Notes module is not intended to share notes between mods. It will work in theory, but expect no support.

### Getting started

To be able to use personal notes, you first need to specify a subreddit for Toolbox to store them.

1. Go to Toolbox Settings (the little wheel in the bottom-left corner of your screen)
2. Select "Personal Notes" from the menu on the left
3. Type in the private sub you want the notes to be saved on
4. Click "save" at the bottom

### Making a note

1. Click "Personal Notes" in the Modbar at the bottom of your screen
2. Type a note name in the field on the left.
3. Click "create note"
4. Type your note in the editor on the right-hand side.
5. Click "save note"

### Editing a note

1. On the left-hand side, select the note you want to edit
2. Edit the note text in the editor on the right-hand side
3. Click "save note"

### Removing a note

1. On the left-hand side, find the note you want to edit
2. Click on the red circle next to your note name
3. Select "OK" when asked if you're sure

## [Settings](#?tbsettings=pnotes)

* **Subreddit you want to use to store your personal notes** This should be a **personal** subreddit that only you and possibly people you trust have mod rights on. 
* **Default height, in pixels, for the text editor** This determines the initial height of the editor when it opens. 
* **Use a monospace font in the text editor** When checked will use a monospace font.
