🔄 Migrating Old Notejot Data

On first launch, Notejot will automatically import your notes from older versions.

🔄 Migration Details

• Note colors are saved as the first line of each note.
• Old modification times are preserved as note timestamps.
• Trashed notes remain trashed after migration.
• Notebooks are converted to tags.

After migration:

• A .notejot_migrated flag file is created.
• Old files are renamed to *_migrated.json for reference and are no longer used.

Migration happens automatically on first launch and keeps your data safe and compatible with the new version.
