1. Tap the Action button  to bring up a menu of actions. Depending on the type of document you are looking at, the menu may vary. The most important options are:
   

1. -Revert to previous version lets you undo all recent changes.
   

2. -Convert to Task List: available for plain text notes only, this option creates a new task list with the title of the note and moves this note onto the list. This is a convenient shortcut if you have collected a series of tasks in a single note and want to convert that to a task list.
   

3. -Split to tasks converts the note to tasks, but leaved the tasks in the current list.
   

4. -Task from Selection: creates a new task with the currently selected text as title. This option is available for plain text notes that are stored in a task list, when you have text selected.

6. -Duplicate: creates an exact copy of the note, which may be handy for templates, or if you just want to have several versions of a note.

8. -Copy Link: this copies the link or URL of the current note to the pasteboard (works for books as well). You can then paste the link into a different note in Notebooks or in another application on your iPhone or iPad. If the application supports it, the link will be tappable and open the original document in Notebooks.
   This also works within Notebooks and lets you create index documents or cross-references.
