How to Open and Edit Apple Notes as Pages Documents

Apple Notes is one of the best note-taking apps, giving you access to features like smart folders, real-time collaboration, password protection of notes, and more. With the latest iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma updates, you can even link notes in Apple Notes. Another new feature coming to Apple Notes with the latest OS updates from Apple is the ability to open a notes document in Pages.

While the Notes app has plenty of formatting tools, when you want to create a proper document, you need access to more tools and features that only a word processor can provide. With the addition of this new feature, you can now easily open a Notes document in Pages and edit and format it. Here's how you can open and edit Apple Notes as Pages documents.

Benefits of converting Apple Notes into Pages documents?

There are several benefits of converting Apple Notes into Pages documents. While Apple Notes is an excellent research tool, it's not the best for creating the final project.
