This provides great flexibility to select new text and apply other formatting without closing the dialog box, selecting new text and opening a new format dialog box. Almost all other Windows applications require the user to close the dialog box, select new text, then open a new dialog box for formatting/changes.

In Notes, clicking on “Remove from Folder” will remove the document only from that folder leaving all other instances intact.
