siri notes - choosing account

Trying to make better use of Siri with Notes. How do I get Siri to put a new note in my iCloud account (or Exchange) rather than 'on my iDevice' account. Its not much use if a note is only accessible on one device.

Answered my own question if anyone's interested.....disable "On My iPad/iPhone/Mac" account on each device and it forces Siri created notes onto the default account - in my case either iCloud or Exchange. Of course Apple Pencil doesn't work with Notes created on an Exchange account (or rather a non-iCloud account).
