What is a template?

A template is a page that is ready for you. A blank page has no lines. Lined paper has writing lines. Grid and dot pages help you place things neatly.

Saved on this device

Once you add page content, your work saves on this device. In Web Lite, an empty notebook is not kept in the library. This is separate from optional Google Drive backup.

If something looks different

  • If you do not see the page chooser, wait for the home screen to finish opening, then tap “New page” once.
  • The Web Lite button is called “New notebook”. It asks for the notebook name before you choose a page.
  • You can choose a different template next time. Do not delete a notebook just to change its page.

Simple guides

When you are ready, you can add more pages, write by hand, add text or bring in a PDF. Each guide will show one small task at a time.
