# About Spotlight

Oftentimes we'd like open another note to refer to while editing the current one.

Another use case is you have a series of notes to work through, and you want to open the next one without going back to your workspace.

**【Spotlight】** could help!

## How to bring up Spotlight

#### 1. You can bring up Spotlight by clicking the <i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i> icon to the top of the navigation bar or keyboard shortcuts.
