Once the pen is set up, writing on the [[ReMarkable | reMarkable]] Paper Pro is similar to writing on paper, allowing for a natural writing experience [(00:07:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=429s). -

The Advanced writing tools on the [[ReMarkable | reMarkable]] Paper Pro offer a range of features that enhance the writing experience, and one of the key aspects to explore is the concept of layers, which is where things get really interesting [(00:08:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=508s). - Layers are a specific feature within the Advanced writing tools that allow for more complex and organized writing, and this is the first topic to be discussed in this section [(00:08:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=515s). ## How to use layers [(00:08:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=518s) - Layers provide a powerful way to keep things organized, especially when working on complex sketches or needing to separate different parts of notes, by acting as separate levels for drawing or writing [(00:08:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=518s). - Each layer can be moved up or down, have its visibility changed, or be deleted without affecting the other layers, as demonstrated with the example of a triangle layer [(00:08:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=532s). - Templates are also treated as layers, allowing them to be made visible or hidden whenever needed, which is another essential feature of using layers [(00:09:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=548s). ## How to use handwriting to text conversion [(00:09:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=553s) - Handwriting to text conversion is a useful feature that allows users to turn their handwritten notes into editable text, and the best way to convert without losing the original handwriting is to go to the share icon on the sidebar and select "convert to text" [(00:09:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=553s). - Selecting "convert to text" creates a new page with the converted text while keeping the original handwriting intact, which is a beneficial option for those who want to preserve their handwritten notes [(00:09:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=568s). - Alternatively, users can also use the select tool to highlight their text and convert it, but this method will replace the handwriting with the digital text, resulting in the loss of the original handwritten text [(00:09:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=576s). -

Creating folders is an effective way to keep different notebooks and documents sorted by category, allowing users to easily find what they need, and to create a folder, one must tap the plus icon, select folder, and name it, then drag and drop notes into the right folders [(00:10:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=608s). - Marking certain files as favorites is another helpful feature, which is ideal for files that are accessed often, and to do this, users can simply tag them as a favorite, resulting in the files appearing in the sidebar under favorites for quick access [(00:10:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=629s). - The process of organizing notes on the [[ReMarkable | reMarkable]] Paper Pro involves utilizing features such as folders and favorites to keep everything tidy, making it easier to manage and locate specific documents and notebooks [(00:10:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=601s). ## How to use tags [(00:10:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=638s) - Tags can be used to stay organized, and they are particularly useful for filtering and searching through notes [(00:10:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=638s). - Multiple tags can be added to a single file or to specify pages within a notebook, making it easy to access all the necessary information [(00:10:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=645s). - The use of tags enables users to quickly pull up everything they need with just a few tabs, once all their notes are organized [(00:10:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=653s). ## How to export notes [(00:10:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=658s) -

Multiple notebooks can be exported to cloud integrations such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, if these services are set up [(00:11:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=673s). - The [[ReMarkable | reMarkable]] cloud service allows notes to be synced across mobile devices or computers using the [[ReMarkable | reMarkable]] app, but without a Connect subscription, notes will only sync with the cloud for the first 50 days after the initial upload [(00:11:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=681s). - After the initial 50-day period, any updates to notes will not be synced back to the cloud without a Connect subscription, making it essential to consider this limitation when organizing notes [(00:11:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=695s). - The device provides features such as folders, favorites, and tags, making it easy to organize notes and focus on capturing ideas rather than searching for them [(00:11:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=702s). - The reMarkable device is also convenient for reading and marking up PDFs and ebooks, although there are specific steps required for importing these files [(00:11:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=718s). ## How to import files [(00:12:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=720s) -

Another method of importing files is through cloud integrations with services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive, allowing for direct import from cloud storage once connected [(00:12:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=736s). - For PC or laptop users, a unique method of transferring files involves entering the reMarkable's IP address in a browser to access and transfer files, which may be an unconventional approach but is effective [(00:12:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=745s). - Files can also be imported by logging into the reMarkable account through a web browser, where drag-and-drop functionality is available to sync files to the device [(00:12:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=762s). -

Annotating PDFs allows users to write directly on the PDF, and the highlighter tool shapes perfectly to the text, making it easy to stay precise, with options to adjust the view by page height or width [(00:13:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=786s). - A contrast filter can be applied to improve readability for those who find the text hard to read, and the PDF can be rotated for users who prefer working in landscape mode, which is handy for reviewing wide documents or tables [(00:13:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=800s). - There are some limitations to PDF annotation, including the inability to select and copy text from a PDF to paste into another document, which would be useful for research or study notes, and the lack of a split-screen option for viewing multiple documents side by side [(00:13:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=821s). ## Syncing across devices [(00:14:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nK0Htgcco&t=841s) -
