1. Open your project by clicking on the project title.
2. Go to the Notecards page, by clicking on Notecards on the left blue column.
2. Click on the green NEW NOTECARD button. 
3. For each notecard from an online source (website, database, e-book, etc.), you will fill in FOUR fields:
In the NOTECARD TITLE field, type in what the information on the notecard is about (subtopic) in 1 to 4 words - be as specific as possible, as this will help you organize your notecards later.
In the SOURCE field, choose from the drop down menu the source where the information for this card is coming from.
In the DIRECT QUOTATION field, copy and paste the information you wish to include on your notecard (this should be no more than a SENTENCE or two).
In the PARAPHRASE OR SUMMARY section, you will paraphrase what you copy and pasted. This means it should be in your own words. - using bullet points might be helpful. Check your paraphrase against the copy and pasted box to make sure you are factually accurate and that it is in your own words and voice.
5. When complete, click Save and Close in the top right-hand corner. 
To EDIT a Notecard, double-click on the Notecard in the Tabletop View.
To create a NOTECARD PILE:
1. Go to the Tabletop View:
2. The easiest way to create a PILE of similar notecards is to drag a notecard on top of another one that you would like in the same pile. Once you do this, NoodleTools will prompt you to name the pile. Give the pile a short name that describes the cards within the pile.
View Pile: If you would like to see which cards are in the pile, click on the arrow in the top left.
How to UNPILE a Notecard:
If you just wish to remove a notecard(s) from a pile, simply drag it out of the pile when in the View Pile mode (see above).
How to UNPILE an Entilre Pile of Notecards:
If you created a pile of notecards that you no longer wish to be piled together, drag all of the notecards out of the pile. When you have verified that no notecards are in the pile, you can delete the pile.
