New features in Zoho Notebook

August 18, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

We recently added search capability in Zoho Notebook and now we have
added few additional features, mostly the features you requested.

Move Objects between pages/books

Ability to move objects between pages/notebooks has been one of the most
requested feature in Notebook after Search. We now added this feature
in our recent update. Under object options, you’ll now notice the
‘Move’ option. This option lets you choose the target book/page you want to move the object to.

HTML Export

We added HTML Export capability. You can now export either individual page or an entire book as a HTML page. As you may know, we already support export to MHTML format which means you can open these notebooks in MS OneNote.…

New: Search in Zoho Notebook

August 10, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

One of the most requested feature in Zoho Notebook is search. In our recent update, we included the search option. You’ll now be able to search for notebooks, pages and also the content within your notebooks.

Search results are displayed as a tab on the right. When a search keyword is present in a notebook, the results display the notebook name followed by the page name which contains the keyword. Search results also display the author of the book along with the last modified information.

When you click on a search result, the notebook is opened in a new tab with the focus on the page containing the search keyword. Apart from searching across all your notebooks, we also provided an option to search within the current notebook.…

January 20, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

After we rolled out an update last week with several enhancements to Zoho Notebook, we got several requests from users asking us to further enhance the app with some specific features. We now updated Zoho Notebook with some of these new features which we think you’ll find them useful.

The key new features in this update include…

New Zoho Notebook Plug-in (beta)

New Text Page

Let us look at each of these in detail.

New Zoho Notebook Plug-in (beta)

We completely redid the Firefox plug-in for Zoho Notebook. The new Firefox plug-in is available here. After you install the new plug-in, you’ll see the Notebook icon appear in the bottom right corner of the status bar.

Multiple Enhancements in Zoho Notebook

January 15, 2009 | By Raju Vegesna

Our Zoho Notebook team rolled out several enhancements to the app making it even better. I’d like to highlight some of the new changes.

Linking between Notebooks

Linking is one of the most requested features. In the text object, we now added the link option. You can not only link externally to any URL, but you can also link to pages with your other notebooks. This linking will also work in published books and pages.

Audio & Video Recording

We had to take down Audio and Video Recording capabilities (offered through a partner) earlier. We are glad to say that the recording capability is back in Notebook. You can now record Audio & Video within Notebook. Your previous recordings will continue to work fine.

Zoho Chat Integration

You might have noticed our char bar in the bottom in other Zoho Apps like Mail, Business, Docs etc.

Zoho Notebook for your Stock Research

August 26, 2008 | By Raju Vegesna

Some users like managing their portfolio using a simple spreadsheet like this one (it uses our recently launched VB Macros, BTW).

While a spreadsheet is good one for such use, research is a different story. Apps like Zoho Notebook comes in handy in such cases. Good news about Zoho Notebook is, you can even include such spreadsheets inside your notebook.

Mike Hogan from Barron’s talks about using Zoho Notebook (and Google Notebook) for your Stock Research.

BOTH NOTEBOOK SYSTEMS make it easy to sort out the HTML-bound text, pictures and videos you want to keep from those you want to lose. Yes, popular desktop applications accept hyperlinks, graphics and other HTML gingerbread, but not with anything approaching predictability.
