Handwriting stays in its planner file

On a reMarkable, ink is stored with the document it was written on. Dayfolio regenerates the planner underneath that ink, which is why a sync never disturbs your notes — and why the notes belong to that one document.

What this means

• Switching layouts (full-size → Move or back) creates a new document. The previous planner stays on the tablet with everything you wrote, and stops updating; the new one starts clean. Keep the old file to look things up.

• Two planners (Additional Planner license) are two documents, each with its own handwriting. Writing on one doesn't appear on the other.

• A new year is a new planner; last year's stays as an archive on the tablet — see Your notes stay: canceled meetings, year end and beyond.

• Note pages you added with Add note page live in the file they were added to.

Every tablet signed in to the same reMarkable account sees the same document, ink included — so one file on two tablets does share handwriting. See Using Dayfolio on two reMarkable devices.

Keeping notes at hand across files

• Keep one file when the notes matter most: one planner opened on every tablet, with Adjust view on the one whose screen doesn't match — see Planner looks narrow, small or cut off.

• Use reMarkable tags on the pages you'll want again (a project, a client); tags are searchable from the home screen across all your documents, old planners included.

• Copy a page you need in the new file: on the reMarkable, select the strokes with the selection tool, copy, and paste them on the corresponding page of the new planner — the same move as in Carry handwritten tasks to the next day.

• Keep the old planner in a folder called Archive; it opens like any document.

What Dayfolio does with your ink

Your ink stays in the document you wrote it in. Dayfolio only checks whether a Meeting Notes page or a task circle contains strokes, for the pencil badge and for completing tasks. See Your data and connections: always in your control.
