Using Layers on Your reMarkable: The Secret Weapon You’re Probably Not Using Enough

Most people use their reMarkable like a simple notebook…

but the real magic happens when you start using layers.

Layers turn your notebook into a flexible, non-destructive workspace — almost like having multiple transparent sheets stacked on top of each other. Here’s why they matter:

✅ Make changes without messing up your base notes

Sketch on one layer, write on another, highlight on another. Erase freely without touching the core content.

✅ Perfect for planners & templates

Keep your template clean on the bottom layer, write your plans on a layer above it, and keep your highlights or mood tracking on a third. No accidental erasing ever again.

✅ Powerful for studying or brainstorming

Break ideas into layers:

– Main notes

– Side ideas

– Questions

– Mind map sketches

You can toggle each layer on/off to reduce clutter.

✅ Great for creators

Artists, designers, and doodlers can ink, shade, trace, and experiment without fear of ruining their artwork.

Your challenge today:

Use at least 3 layers in one of your notebooks.

Try writing, highlighting, and sketching each on a separate layer — then toggle them and see how much cleaner and more powerful your pages feel.
