To fold a note group, simply select it and press either “Alt+Enter“ keyboard shortcut or hold the “Alt“ key while clicking the note’s drag handle with the left mouse button.
The folded summary is shown to the right of the folded note. It provides a quick visual indication of how many notes have been folded. Hovering over it with the mouse will show a tooltip with the number of individual notes or note groups that have been folded. Clicking on the folded summary will unfold the note group.
