Hey friends,

After two years, Google Keep's web version **finally** gets text formatting (Android users have had it since 2023 😂). Web users can now **bold**, *italicize*, underline, and add headers.

## What's new

Look for the underlined "A" button in the bottom left corner. Click it to access:

- **Bold (cmd/ctrl+b)**, *italic (cmd/ctrl+i)*, and underline (cmd/ctrl + u) options
- H1 and H2 headers
- Remove formatting tool

## Small details add up

Yes I agree this is just a small quality of life update but for those of us who follow my **Note Capture workflow** from [The Workspace Academy](https://academy.jeffsu.org/workspace-academy?utm%5Fsource=newsletter&utm%5Fmedium=post&utm%5Fcampaign=207), I strongly recommend getting in the habit of using either (1) Headers or (2) Bolded text to separate key takeaways and rough notes.

### Pro tip

My ex-colleague at Google came up with his own system after this new update:

- **Bolded text** \= key takeaways from meetings.
- *Italic text* (below takeaways) = context.

ALSO, your formatting now syncs between web and mobile. No more losing structure when you switch devices. Keep stays simple but becomes actually useful for work.
