> Hi, Sorry, I don’t understand the function of the table “Templates” at the bottom of the pop-up window “Change note type”. There are two columns “Current” and “New”. It should have something to do with transferring templates from the old to the new note type. Could you please give me a link to an explanation of how it works / how to use it? With kind regards
