Labels let you mark items in Milanote so you can visually organize related ideas, track status, or quickly find similar content later. They’re great for organizing research, planning projects, managing feedback, tracking tasks and more.

Here’s how to add a new label to an item:

The label will be created and added to the selected item. New labels are given a color automatically, which you can change at any time.

To apply a label:

To remove a label:

You can also remove a label by selecting it directly on the item and pressing Delete or Backspace.

You can rename a label or change its color at any time.

To edit a label from the Labels menu:

You can also double-click a label on an item to rename it.

Note: Renaming a label changes it everywhere it’s used.

To delete a label:

Deleting a label removes it from boards you have access to. If the same label is being used by someone else on a private board, it won’t be deleted from their private content.

Labels work like other content in Milanote. If you add a label to a shared board, people who can access that board will be able to see and use the label too.

A label can be shared when you:

Anyone with edit access to the shared board can use or edit shared labels. People with read-only access can see labels, but can’t edit them.

Items with labels appear in Milanote search, just like other content.

To search for a label:

You can also open the Labels menu and select the usage count next to a label to search for all items with that label.

Undo and redo work with labels the same way they work with other content in Milanote. You can undo changes like:

Yes. You can add, remove and edit labels on mobile using the Labels option in the toolbar when you select an item.

Labels you create are private until they’re used on a shared board. Once a label is used on a shared board, people with access to that board can see and use the label.

Renaming a label updates it everywhere it’s used, including shared boards.
