Recover a deleted note
A note you delete goes to Recently Deleted with its pictures and files, and stays there for 30 days. Until then you can put it back. After 30 days, Soot deletes it for good.
Before you restore, check whether the original folder has another note with the same title. If it does, rename that note first. If you don’t, Soot keeps that note, and the deleted note is lost.
Recently Deleted holds the notes you delete in Soot. A note deleted in Finder or another app doesn’t go there. With Soot Pro, a note you delete on one device goes into Recently Deleted on your other devices too.
On the Mac

On iPhone and iPad

On the Folders screen, tap Recently Deleted, the last row.

You can also tap the note to read it first, then tap Restore at the top right.
Where restored notes go
The note goes back into the folder it was deleted from, with its pictures and files. If that folder has gone, Soot makes it again.
Notes from a deleted folder
When you delete a folder, each note in it goes to Recently Deleted on its own. On the Mac, you can select them all and restore them together. On iPhone and iPad, you restore them one at a time. On the Mac, ⌘Z straight after deleting brings back the whole folder.
Pictures and files removed from a note
Pictures and files you remove from a note don’t go to Recently Deleted. When you leave a note, Soot deletes any picture or file the note no longer links to. To get one back, undo before you leave the note.
Delete a note for good
Deleting a note from Recently Deleted is permanent. On the Mac, select the note there and click Delete now. On iPhone and iPad, swipe left on it and tap Delete now.
