The XNote Smart Pen uses dot patterns on each page to identify your writing. Since notebooks of the same size share identical dot patterns, you need to set a primary notebook for each size so the pen knows where to save your notes.
There are three primary notebook slots:
- Mini (small notebooks)
- Standard (standard notebooks)
- Large (large notebooks)
When you write with your smart pen, your notes will be saved to the primary notebook of the matching size.
How to set a primary notebook:
- From the Home page: Click the star icon on any notebook card. A filled blue star indicates the current primary. Click the star on a different notebook to change the primary.
- From Settings: Go to Settings -> Primary Notebooks and use the dropdown selectors for each size.
If you have multiple notebooks of the same size without a primary set, a mandatory selection modal will appear on the Home page prompting you to choose one. You must select a primary before continuing.
If you create your first notebook of a size, it will automatically be set as your primary notebook.
If you delete a primary notebook, XNote will automatically assign another notebook of the same size as primary.
An info banner on the Home page explains: "When you write with your smart pen, your notes will be saved to the primary notebook of that size." This banner can be dismissed and will not appear again.
