The New capture sheet
New captures go to the space the library is showing. Paste saves a copied link as a link, an image as an image, and text as a note. With nothing copied, it opens a link composer.
Tap the round plus button at the bottom, next to Library, Inbox and Later.
Pick Note, Quote, Paste, Voice note, Photo or File.
Save. The Organize step follows, where you can add a space, tags, a reminder or a note. See After you save.
