Bonjour, konnichiwa, and hello! Notes users come from all over the world, and depending on where you are, Notes has some preferences you can set, to make your experience more accurate. In this episode, we'll tell you how to set up Notes for working in different timezones, setting different work days, languages, and more tips for people in different areas, or people whose co-workers are in different areas.
The preferences we'll talk about today might already be set by your administrator, so you may not need to worry about them.
Change your language
- Set a regional profile to change the language used for Notes menus, buttons, sorting, and importing/exporting documents, as well as units of measure.
