Quick Note is a cool and useful feature available on iPad and Mac, but you’ve probably seen that it automatically resumes the same Quick Note every time you open it instead of creating a new one. Don’t worry, there’s a way to change this, and it’ll only take you a moment.
Quick Note Automatically Opens the Previous Note
By default, when you open a Quick Note on your iPad or Mac, it’ll always resume the last Quick Note you made, so you can resume what you were doing before. There’s no doubt that’s useful from time to time, but it can also get annoying, especially if you only use Quick Notes for different quick reminders or ideas.
The good news is that it’s really easy to change the settings, so your iPad or Mac always opens a new Quick Note.

- Scroll down again, and disable Resume Last Quick Note.
Create a New Quick Note
As we mentioned, changing your settings always to use a new Quick Note couldn’t be any easier.
