The changes are not revolutionary, but alter your experience with Mac family devices.

Now, the new Notes app allows you to make richer and smarter notes. In other words, you can add photos, videos, URLs and location data. You can also add checklists to your rich notes. Notes app also brings some new features related to PDF. Now let’s learn how you can handle PDF with Notes on Mac OS X El Capitan.
As mentioned earlier, you can add PDF files to your Notes. Let's be clearer. To do so, create a note first. Then find your PDF from the Finder and directly drag it into your Notes.
When you add a PDF file to a new note, it shows up as an attachment in your note and the app itself does not allow you to fully view the PDF document. Instead, when you double click on the PDF file in Notes, the default PDF viewer of El Capitan runs: The Preview App.
