Fix issues with notes

Where are my old notes?

Notes you created with your Google Assistant before connecting to a notes service, like Keep, aren’t migrated. Your Assistant will show you an aggregated view of notes created from both your Assistant and your note service.

If you have notes in both the Assistant and your notes service with the same name, your Assistant will start adding items to the note created in your notes service.

Access notes you created with your Google Assistant

When you set a notes service as your default app, your Assistant shows you notes from both the note app and notes you created with your Google Assistant. To edit your Google Assistant notes:

1. Open the Google Assistant app .
2. At the top right, tap your profile image or initial Services Notes & Lists.
