Pro Tips for Using Templates
Organization is Key
Create a folder structure on your reMarkable to keep templates organized:
- Create a "Templates" main folder
- Add subfolders like "Planners," "Puzzles," "Notes," etc.
- Keep blank templates in one folder and in-use copies in another
Always Duplicate Before Using
This is the golden rule of template usage! Before writing on a blank template, always duplicate it first. This way, you'll always have a fresh blank copy available. To duplicate:
- Long-press on the template file
- Select "Duplicate" from the menu
- Rename the duplicate with your project or date
Layer Templates Creatively
The reMarkable Paper Pro allows you to use templates as backgrounds while taking notes. This is perfect for:
- Adding structure to freeform notes
- Creating professional-looking documents
- Keeping your writing aligned and organized
Export and Backup Regularly
Don't lose your work! Set up automatic cloud sync or manually export important documents:
- Enable automatic cloud backup in Settings
- Use the "Send by email" feature for important documents
- Periodically export via USB for local backups
Choosing the Right Templates
When selecting templates, consider your primary use cases:
For Productivity: If you're using your reMarkable Paper Pro mainly for work, focus on planners, meeting notes, and project trackers. These templates help you stay organized and professional.
For Creativity: Artists and designers should look for sketch grids, storyboards, and wireframe templates that provide structure without limiting creativity.
For Mindfulness: If you want to reduce screen time while staying engaged, word search puzzles, crosswords, and journaling templates are perfect for mindful breaks.
For Learning: Students benefit from Cornell note templates, study planners, and assignment trackers that enhance their learning process.
