Create notes from a Custom Template

A custom template can be set from the Note Gallery, your "My Templates" section, or customized by the following options:

• • Template Size
    • Note: Optimized paper sizes will adjust the text size on text-only notes for optimal viewing across devices
  • Landscape or Portrait
  • Paper Color
  • Type (Basic, Education, Creative, etc)

One template can be set per note. When creating a custom template from a multi-page PDF, the template will be created from the first page.

Setting a template while in a note

2. Choose a template from the Gallery, set a custom template, or navigate to "My Templates" to import a template from Files, a cloud storage option, or using Document Scan.
