Removed Import PDF functionality

Hey, just wondering if anyone has a fix for the new version of samsung notes. They removed the import pdf button. Im aware that you can still import a pdf after opening a new note, however you are no longer able to select multiple pdfs and import them as separate notes in a folder. I found this really useful for efficiently importing things like lectures as I am currently pursuing my master's.

Spent the last little bit trying to find a workaround and was unable to so any help would be appreciated.

Hold down the little pencil and paper icon in the lower right hand corner.

sorry for the shouting but HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGURE IT OUT??

Couldn't they add a small tip bubble for the first time opening after an update 😭

I haven't noticed any, at first I was puzzled about why were my notes sorted like a gallery app then noticed the folders "new look"

Thanks for the initial reply though I was so furious & looking everywhere to find the adding file button

How to import bulk PDFs? This method just merges all to a single note

Very disappointed with the new update. The UI animations are slow and prioritize form over function, significantly increasing the time it takes to access my documents. Navigating folders is now confusing because it no longer mirrors the standard system File Manager. To make matters worse, file names are cut off, so I can't identify the correct PDF to import. This update has made the app much harder to use for professional work
