After you create a new wiznotebook, a button will appear on the wiznotebooks' vertical toolbar located on the right-hand side of Wiznotes' navigator. The text on the button will be the name that your provided for that wiznotebook. Any time that you want to view the contents of that wiznotebook you can click on that button.

Special groups of pages

Every new wiznotebook has 2 groups of pages that cannot be deleted:

  • A group called 'General'. You can use this group in order to store general notes related to the wiznotebook. This group will always contain a page that cannot be deleted called 'Notes'.
  • A group called 'Deleted Pages'. Any time you delete pages in a wiznotebook they will be moved to this section. If you want to delete the pages permanently you can right-click on that particular page in the 'Deleted Pages' group and select 'Delete Permanently'. If you want to permanently delete all pages in the 'Deleted Pages' group you can right-click on the group button and select 'Empty Deleted Pages...'.
