Step-by-Step Instructions

Navigate to the source note

Open your Daino Notes workspace and locate the note you want to clone. Navigate to the folder containing your source note using the Folder Panel on the left sidebar. Click on the note to ensure it's selected and highlighted.

Use the search function if you have many notes and can't quickly locate the one you want to clone.

Access the clone option

Right-click on the selected note to open the context menu. Look for the Clone Note option in the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can select the note and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+C (Mac).

Choose destination folder

In the Clone Note Dialog that appears, click on the Destination Folder dropdown menu. Browse through your folder structure and select the target folder where you want to place the cloned note. You can also create a new folder by clicking New Folder at the bottom of the dropdown.

The current folder will be grayed out since you cannot clone a note to the same location.

Customize the cloned note name

In the Note Name field, modify the default name if desired. Daino Notes automatically appends (Copy) to the original name, but you can change this to any custom name. Ensure the name is unique within the destination folder.

Use descriptive names that indicate the purpose or context of the cloned note to avoid confusion later.

Configure clone settings

Review the clone settings in the dialog box. Check Include Attachments if you want to copy any files or images attached to the original note. Select Preserve Creation Date if you want the clone to maintain the original note's timestamp, or leave unchecked for current date.

Including attachments will increase the storage space used, so only select this option if necessary.

Execute the clone operation

Click the Clone Note button to create the copy. Daino Notes will display a progress indicator for notes with large attachments. Once completed, you'll see a confirmation message: "Note successfully cloned to [destination folder]".

Verify the cloned note

Navigate to the destination folder using the Folder Panel. Locate your newly cloned note and open it to verify that all content, formatting, and attachments (if selected) have been copied correctly. The cloned note is now independent of the original and can be edited separately.

Both notes will have different unique IDs, so changes to one will not affect the other.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Clone Note option is grayed out or missing

Ensure you have edit permissions for both source and destination folders. Check that you're not trying to clone a locked note or that your account has sufficient storage space remaining.

Attachments not copying with the note

Verify that Include Attachments is checked in the clone dialog. If the issue persists, check your storage quota as large attachments may fail to copy if you're near your limit.

Cannot find the cloned note in destination folder

Refresh the folder view by pressing F5 or clicking the Refresh icon. Check if the note was created with a different name than expected, or verify you selected the correct destination folder.

Clone operation fails or times out

This typically occurs with very large notes or poor internet connection. Try cloning without attachments first, then manually add attachments later. Clear your browser cache and try again if the problem persists.
