Step 1
Access the Pages window
To access the page window, you will need to add the thumbnail icon to the floating toolbar.
- click on ‘more’ icon [ad icon img]
- select ‘Customize Toolbar’
- in the options menu, tap on ‘thumbnail’ icon to add it to the toolbar
Alternative Method
If you do not see the thumbnail icon in floating toolbar menu:
4. You can click on pages number section in top right corner of main toolbar to access Pages window
-
- (swipe right on picture for example)
Step 2
Naming Pages
Now you can click the thumbnail icon to access the pages menu.
- You can click on edit button under any page to name it. I don’t usually name every single page. I will name the first page of every month(the monthly log) and that way I can see a divider at a glance.
- from there you can name any specific list pages that you like and start to organize
Step 3
Organizing the notebook
using the top menu, you can re-organize your pages
- by selecting a page and clicking on [adj icon] , you can move pages to left or right of original position
- you can also use the [move icon] to select a specific page number spot or bring to the beginning or end of your notebook.
- Note – this can be done with multiple pages, too.
Step 4
Sharing Pages
in this menu, You can also create PDFs to export and share
- select the page or pages you want to export
- click the share button at top right corner
- if only one page is selected then choose ‘Single Page PDF’
- if multiple pages were selected, choose ‘bitmap or Vector PDFs’
- the ‘Share button’ allows you to export to other apps such as email, dropbox, evernote, evernote, etc
- while the ‘export’ button saves it to the boox device
a Bitmap PDF is a PDF that cannot be edited whereas a Vector-Based PDF can be edited.
A Vector PDF allows you to select the actual pen strokes as an object and manipulate them or delete them all together
BONUS! – Choose a Cover Page
Assign a Cover Page
Assigning a static cover page is a great way o get a clean organized look in the notebooks section of your tablet. and very easy!
- select page you would like to make the cover page of your notebook.
- click on ‘Cover’ icon at top and confirm it
- and you’re done!
I like to create templates specifically for this purpose to look like the cover of a book or journal.
Cover page templates will now be available this week!
