6. Exporting and Sharing

Three, Advanced Usage Tips

1. Quick Collection: Enable “Compact Mode” (Command + 0), and Keep It will collapse into a single floating window, making it convenient to drag and drop content while working in other applications. This mode is especially suitable for using in browsers while reading materials.
2. Smart Folders (Saved Searches): After executing a complex search, click the “Save” button below the search box. The search condition will be saved to the side bar, and its content will automatically update based on rules. For example, you can create a smart folder for “All PDF Documents”.
3. Tag Filter联动: After clicking a tag in the side bar, combine it with the search box input to perform precise searches within that tag. This联动 mechanism significantly improves search precision.
4. Encrypt sensitive projects: Select the project, click the menu bar File -> Encrypt..., and set a password. Encrypted projects will have a lock icon. The encryption algorithm uses AES-256, meeting industry security standards.
5. Utilize the “Services” menu: Right-click text in other applications, choose “Services” -> “Save with Keep It”, to quickly create a new note containing the selected text. This feature is particularly useful in emails, browsers, and text editors.
6. Quick Preview: After selecting a file in the project list, press Space key to use macOS’s Quick Look feature, without opening the edit pane. This allows quick browsing of file contents, confirming if the target file is selected.

Real-world example: A researcher used the smart folder feature to create two smart folders, “This Week’s New Papers” and “Reading Papers to Read”. The former automatically aggregates all PDFs added in the last 7 days, and the latter filters based on the “Reading” tag. Checking these two folders daily allows efficient management of reading progress.

Four, Common Issues and Solutions

1. Issue: Unable to save content from certain applications to Keep It via sharing extensions.
   Solution: Check System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Extensions -> Sharing menu, ensure that the “Keep It” extension is selected and enabled. Some third-party browsers may require additional extension plugins.
2. Issue: Unable to find text in scanned PDFs or images.
   Solution: Ensure text recognition is enabled in the library. Click the menu bar Keep It -> Settings... -> General, and check the box for “Perform text recognition in this library”. This may require background processing for existing files, depending on their quantity and size.
3. Issue: Smart folders or tags in the side bar disappear unexpectedly.
   Solution: Check if they were accidentally dragged out. You can re-display the file or tag lists via the menu bar View -> Show File List or Show Tag List. Use the shortcut Command + Option + 1/2/3 to quickly switch between displaying/hiding different parts of the side bar.
4. Issue: How to sync the library across multiple Macs?
   Solution: Keep It itself does not provide cloud sync services. Place the library file (`.keepit` file) in a synced folder like iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and point to it from different Macs using the “Open Library” feature. Be cautious not to edit the library simultaneously on two devices to avoid data conflicts.
5. Issue: Exported PDF files are disorganized.
   Solution: Check the export settings and ensure the correct export format is selected. For rich text notes, consider converting them to plain text before exporting, or use the “Original File” format. If the notes contain complex tables or images, use the “Web Archive” format for export.
6. Issue: The program crashes or freezes unexpectedly.
   Solution: Try restarting the application. If the issue persists, check if macOS is the latest version and ensure that Keep It is compatible with your system version. You can also try rebuilding the library index: delete the `~/Library/Caches/com.reinvented.KeepIt/` folder (make sure to back it up) and restart the application.
7. Question: How do I recover deleted projects?
   Solution: In the sidebar, find the “Trash” smart list. Right-click on the project you want to recover and choose “Restore” to do so. Deleted projects are retained for 30 days, after which they are permanently deleted. To delete permanently, use the shortcut Command + Option + Delete.
