Bubble Menu

Quick formatting toolbar when selecting text.

The bubble menu is your quick-access formatting toolbar that appears when you select text. It puts the most common formatting options right at your fingertips.

How to Use the Bubble Menu

  1. Select any text in your note by clicking and dragging
  2. The bubble menu automatically appears above your selection
  3. Click any button to apply formatting
  4. The menu disappears when you click elsewhere

Available Formatting Options

The bubble menu includes these formatting tools:

  • All Basic formatting tools
  • Highlight - Apply background highlighting
    • This is a dropdown that allows you to set a color for the highlight. Clicking on the same color on a highlighted text, de-highlights it.
  • Add to Chat - Adds the selected text to the Writing Assistant as context.
  • Create linked note from selection - Creates a note with the text selected (if it doesn’t contain invalid characters) and auto links it.

When the Bubble Menu Won't Appear

The bubble menu doesn't appear when:

  • You're in a code block
  • You're editing a table cell

Some bubble menu buttons will be hidden when under bullet list, numbered list or task lists like - Header, Callout, Codeblock, Quote since those can’t be assigned to a list item.
