The first thing you see when you open Notes 9.0 Social Edition is the gorgeous Discover page (we may have work on it... :) ). The Discover page helps you see what's new this release, gets you started if this is your first time using Notes, and gives you lots of tips and tricks for things you never knew you could do with Notes. In this podcast, we'll give you a tour of the Discover page, so it can help you work smarter!

The Notes Notebook is a very straightforward and useful application - the digital analog of a paper notebook that you might keep at your desk, with all the advantages of a Notes database.

For information on how to set up and use the Notebook, see this article in the Notes and Domino wiki.

Emily's tips

• While co-editing documents in IBM Docs, you can hide changes from readers until you're ready to show them the latest version. Learn more.
• You can also comment on documents.

• Have too many tabs open in Notes? Click File > Close All to close all the tabs and start fresh.

Chris' Tips:

• Set your inbox as your homepage -- Use a bookmarked page as your home page
• When you open Notes, reopen any tabs that were open when you closed Notes

• Rearrange items in a list or rows, columns, or cells in a table -- Select what you want to move and use Ctrl + up or down arrows.

• To keep the Applications Navigator from expanding and scrolling so much, click the second icon in the Navigator's title bar to turn off "Synchronize with Editor tab."
  
• When a design element is selected in the Navigator or the design list, you can copy information such as replica ID from the Document IDs tab in the Properties panel.
  
• In an XPages application, if you need to specify a theme that is stored on the server rather than the local application, it won't be listed in the Application theme list in Application Properties, but if you know the name you can type it in.
