Frequently Asked Questions

Should I copy everything from a PDF or source document into my notes?
No — and you'll get more out of InkReaders if you don't. Focus on the ideas that matter to you: key insights, important data points, and your own interpretation of the material. The goal is to understand and synthesize, not to duplicate.

When should I use a template?
At the start of any new notebook or page. Templates give you a ready-made structure so you can skip the setup and get straight to writing. They're especially useful when you're in a hurry or working on something recurring like meeting notes or research.

How do I share my notes with someone?
Use the Public Pages feature to generate a shareable link. Anyone with the link can view your page immediately — no account or login needed. It's great for sharing study guides, project docs, or any content you want others to read.

What's the best way to organize my workspace?
Follow the InkReaders hierarchy and let each level do its job:

• Collections for broad areas of your life or work (e.g. Academic, Personal, Work)

• Notebooks for specific subjects or projects within those areas

• Pages for distinct topics within a notebook

• Notes for the actual content — your writing, data, and ideas

How detailed should my notes be?
As detailed as they need to be — and no more. Clear, focused notes are far more useful than long ones. Aim for concise summaries and well-structured bullet points over exhaustive transcripts.

Can I link notes to each other?
Yes. InkReaders supports internal linking between pages and notes. Use this to connect related ideas across your workspace — over time it turns a collection of separate notes into a proper knowledge base you can navigate naturally.

How does InkReaders help with long-term learning?
Beyond storing your notes, InkReaders can generate summaries for quick revision and create practice exercises from your existing content. It's the difference between a filing cabinet and a study partner.
