You can choose how much of each note appears in your notes list, from a compact list of titles to a preview with several lines of content.

## Choosing a preview style

Click the gear icon and select **Settings**, then open the **Appearance** tab. Under **Notes Preview**, choose one of the following:

- **Condensed view** shows the note title and tags only.
- **Default view** shows the title, one line of content, tags, and images.
- **Expanded view** shows the title, two lines of content, tags, and images.

Turn on **Apply to all devices** to use the same preview everywhere, or leave it off to set it for just this device. You can also toggle **Show thumbnail images** to show or hide image thumbnails in the list.
