Send a note using other apps on Mac

You can use apps like Mail or Messages to share a copy of a note with others.

Recipients can’t make changes to the copy of the note and can only see an updated version if you send the note to them again. To collaborate with others, share the note. Participants can edit a shared note and see each other’s changes.
