1. Get a copy of all the notes stored in the notebook:
- Select the notebook in the sidebar.
- Select any note with a long press.
- Tap on the "Select All" button.
- Tap on the archive button to create a local archive file containing the note images and their metadata in human readable form.

2. Completely delete the data stored in the third-party service associated with the notebook.
- Select the notebook in the sidebar.
- Select any note with a long press.
- Tap on the "Select All" button.
- Tap on the delete button.

3. Temporarily deactivate access to the third-party service associated with the notebook.
- Go to Settings > Notebooks.
- Switch off the notebook.

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

ENHANCEMENTS
