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.
