Notes app not allowing editing and buttons are not clickable.

Notes app on mac doesn't allow me to add or edit anything.

Hey dgb-apple,


It sounds like you're having trouble with certain options being grayed out in Notes.


It's unclear the account you have selected in the Sidebar in the screenshot. If you have a note with a third-party account, some options may not be available. Make sure that you are creating a new note under On My Mac or under iCloud. Let us know if this makes the features available now.


Have a great day.
