2.20.1 What is Stroke History?
Stroke History lets you travel through time on any page of your notebook. You can see when each
stroke was written, remove unwanted strokes, and move them to another notebook.
Common use cases:
• Strokes were accidentally imported to the wrong page via Offline Sync
• You want to clean up a page by removing certain sections
• You want to move strokes from one notebook to another
2.20.2 How to Open
Open any notebook page. Then tap the clock icon in the header toolbar.
Tap the clock icon in the notebook header to open Stroke History
Stroke History opens for the current page only. Each page has its own independent history.
2.20.3 Understanding the Timeline
When you open Stroke History, you see all strokes on the current page rendered in a preview
canvas.
The Slider
The slider at the bottom represents the timeline:
• Right end = newest stroke (most recently written)
• Left end = oldest stroke (written first)
• Drag the slider left to go back in time
+/- Buttons
Use the - and + buttons above the slider for precise control. Tap once to move one stroke at a time.
Hold down to move continuously.
Time Labels
The timestamps below the slider show the time of the first and last stroke. If strokes span multiple
days, dates are shown (e.g.
"Apr 6, 11:30" instead of just "11:30:54").
Slider area: +/- buttons, stroke counter, and time labels
2.20.4 Two Ways to Delete
At the bottom of the screen you see two mode buttons: Cut after and Range.
2.20.4a Cut After
This is the default mode. Move the slider to a point in time. Everything after that point appears in
red and will be deleted.
Steps:
1. Drag the slider or use +/- buttons to find the point where unwanted strokes begin
2. Strokes after the slider turn red in the preview
3. Switch to the After Delete tab to see what the page will look like
4. Tap the red Delete button
5. A confirmation dialog appears review the message and tap Delete to confirm, or Cancel to go back
Cut After mode strokes after the slider shown in red
Confirmation dialog deleted strokes will be backed up for recovery
Use this when: The unwanted strokes are at the end of the timeline. For example, strokes that
were accidentally added after your own writing.
2.20.4b Range Delete
Switch to Range mode to select a specific section to delete. Two draggable handles appear on the slider.
Steps:
1. Tap Range to switch modes
2. Drag the left handle to the start of the section you want to remove
3. Drag the right handle to the end of the section
4. The selected strokes appear in red in the preview
5. Use +/- buttons for precise adjustments of Start and End
6. Switch to After Delete tab to preview
7. Tap the red Delete button
8. A confirmation dialog appears tap Delete to confirm, or Cancel to go back
Range mode two handles to select a section, with Start/End controls
2.20.4c Use this when
Use this when: The unwanted strokes are in the middle of the timeline. For example, day 1 is
correct, day 2 was accidentally imported, and day 3 is correct again. Range lets you remove only day 2.
Repeated Wrong Imports
If strokes were accidentally imported to the wrong page multiple times at different intervals via
Offline Sync, they will appear as separate layers in the timeline. In this case, you can use Range mode repeatedly to remove each unwanted import one by one. Identify each import segment in the
timeline, select it with the range handles, delete it, and then repeat for the next segment. Check the After Delete preview after each deletion to make sure you are only removing the unwanted strokes.
- Important: Be extra careful when working with older notes. Strokes written before the Stroke History update may not have accurate timestamps, which means the timeline order might not match the actual writing order. In such cases, the import segments may not be clearly separated in the timeline. Always use the After Delete preview to verify you are selecting the correct strokes before confirming deletion.
2.20.5 Preview Tabs
Two tabs at the top let you switch between views:
| Tab | What it shows |
| Current | All strokes with the selected ones highlighted in red |
| After Delete | How the page will look after deletion (red strokes removed) |
Current red strokes visible After Delete red strokes removed
Always check the After Delete tab before confirming deletion.
2.20.6 Recovery
After cutting strokes, they are not permanently gone. They go to Recovery.
Opening Recovery
Tap the archive icon in the top right corner of the Stroke History screen.
Recovery List
Each deletion appears as a card showing:
• Number of strokes
• When they were deleted
• Timestamp of the original strokes
Actions
| Restore | Puts the strokes back on the original page |
| Move | Moves the strokes to the same page number in another notebook |
| Delete(trash icon) | Permanently removes the strokes. Cannot be undone |
2.20.7 Moving Strokes to Another Notebook
To move strokes to another notebook, you first need to cut (delete) them from the current page.
Deleted strokes are automatically sent to Recovery, and from there you can move them to
another notebook. The full workflow is:
1. Open Stroke History and use Cut after or Range mode to select the strokes you want to
move
2. Tap the red Delete button and confirm in the dialog
3. The strokes are now in Recovery tap the archive icon to open it
4. Find the deletion card and tap Move
Selecting the Target Notebook
Steps:
1. A list of notebooks appears, filtered to the same type as the source notebook (Standard,
Mini, or Large). The source notebook is not shown.
2. Tap a notebook
3. A preview shows what the target page will look like with the moved strokes
4. Tap Move to confirm
Notebook selection list Move preview existing + moving strokes
After Moving
Source page Recovery: Shows a "Moved" badge with the target notebook name and page
number. Only the Delete button is available.
Target page: The strokes are now regular strokes on that page. You can view them in the
target page's Stroke History.
Moved card in Recovery shows destination notebook and page
2.20.8 Important Information
Page-Specific
Stroke History works per page. Opening it on page 42 shows only the strokes on page 42.
Same Notebook Type Only
When moving strokes, you can only move to notebooks of the same type (Standard to Standard, Mini to Mini, Large to Large). The strokes are always moved to the same page number as the source.
30-Day Recovery
Recoveryhistoryisstored locally on your device for 30 days. After 30 days, unrestored/unmoved strokes are automatically removed.
Permanent Delete
Ifyoutapthetrashicon on a Recovery card, those strokes are gone forever. There is no undo. Beta Feature Stroke History is currently in beta. Strokes written recently have accurate timestamps and will display in correct order. Older strokes (imported before this update) may not have precise timestamps, so their order in the timeline might not be fully accurate.
Old Notes Use with Caution
If you are working with older notebooks that contain strokes written before the Stroke History update, please proceed with extra caution. Since these strokes may lack accurate timestamps, the timeline may not reflect the true writing order. This can make it difficult to distinguish between your own strokes and accidentally imported ones. Always review the After Delete preview carefully before confirming any deletion, and consider using Recovery to restore strokes if you accidentally remove the wrong ones.
App Uninstall Warning: If you uninstall the app or clear app data, all Recovery history is permanently lost. Active strokes on your pages are safe (they sync to the cloud), but Recovery data is local only.

2.20.9 FAQ
Q: I deleted strokes by mistake. Can i get them back ?
Yes, go to Recovery (archive icon) and tap Restore. This works for 30 days after deletion.
Q: Why can't I see some notebooks in the Move list?
Only notebooks of the same type (Standard/Mini/Large) that are not deleted are shown. The
current notebook is also excluded.
Q: Why are the strokes in a different order than I wrote them?
Strokes imported before this update may not have precise timestamps. Recently written strokes
will have correct ordering.
Q: What happens to tasks and events extracted from a page when I delete all strokes?
The page content (OCR text) is cleared, but previously extracted tasks and events remain
untouched. If you restore the strokes, a new processing will run and update them.
