Choose which note your Sticky Widget displays

How to do it

1. Find the note in the app

   Open Sticky Widgets and confirm the note you want is in your active notes. Give it a distinctive name if several notes look alike.

2. Open widget settings

   Return to the Home Screen. Touch and hold the specific Sticky Widgets widget you want to change, then choose Edit Widget.

3. Change the Note field

   Select the note you want that widget to display. Tap outside the settings to return to the Home Screen.

4. Confirm the result

   Check the displayed text. Tap the widget to open the chosen note if you also want to edit its content.

Edit text when the note is right

If the widget already displays your grocery list but you need to add milk, edit that list. Switching the Note field is unnecessary. You are changing the content of the existing note.

When you want to replace the grocery list with today’s work priorities, change the widget’s selection instead. Both notes can remain in the app, ready to use again later.

Give similar notes different names

A library containing several notes called ‘Note’ is harder to configure. Names such as ‘Groceries,’ ‘Today,’ and ‘Packing’ help you recognize the right item in the picker.

If two widgets show the same text, check whether both select the same note. Changing one note’s text affects every widget displaying that note; choosing two separate notes lets them carry different content.

Check selection before troubleshooting sync

If the note looks correct in the app but different on your Home Screen, first inspect this widget’s selection. A widget pointing to another note can look like a save or sync problem.

If the right note is selected and the widget is still stale, follow the update checklist below. Keep your existing note content intact while investigating.
