- Accessibility features for Notes®
  Accessibility features help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products.
- Using the Discover page
  IBM® Notes® opens to the Discover page by default, unless you set up Notes to open to an application, such as Mail or Calendar, or to a customized home page. The default Discover page is a central location from which you can find targeted Notes client information more quickly and easily, including new features in the release, introductory material for new users, and helpful hints and tips. There is also a Quick Links tab that allows you to launch your workspace, Mail, Calendar, and other Notes applications you have recently used.
- Using the Notes workspace
  The IBM® Notes® workspace, the legacy user interface for Notes, displays pages containing Notes application icons.

  Bookmarks are links that point to IBM® Notes® applications, views, documents, or Internet elements, such as Web pages and news groups. Bookmark folders organize your bookmarks. They can contain bookmarks or more folders.
- Notes views and folders
  Views display specific documents with similar criteria. For example, your Mail has an All Documents view that displays every document contained in the mail application, and a Sent view that displays only documents that you sent.
- Printing
  You print a single document or multiple documents at the same time. You can also print views (lists of documents in an IBM® Notes® application) and the framesets found in both Notes and the Web.
- Advanced Getting Started topics
  The topics in this section have been written for more advanced Notes users.
