The tape feature is used for studying. You cover parts of your notes you want to memorize, then touch the tape and it disappears for a second so you can check if you got it right. It's basically for memorization type notes.

The ruler is also useful for things where you're drawing and need things to be proportional. It's not just for straight lines. So if you're sketching out a blueprint of something.

Just bought my first iPad and tried a number of different note taking apps before settling on Notability. This was a super helpful tutorial, thank you!

This is how a tutorial should be.. I am new to notability, now I feel confident to use it.

Found out that under Tools you can add duplicate tools. So if you like two types of Pen settings but you don't want to keep changing the settings back and forth, you can just set up two pens. Thanks for a good tutorial! Lots of features I didn't know existed (like the second half of the toolbar lol)

This is such a good video; I use it for medical school, but there are things you've mentioned I didn't even know existed which would be useful!

Super helpful and still relevant closing out 2024, thank you!

I really found your video helpful. Thank you so much for it. One suggestion is to slow down a little especially when showing things like the sticky notes. It was hard to tell what to do. If you had used the laser pointer feature that might have helped, too.

I enjoyed this. I just made the change to study my Information Technology Certifications (Linux & Cisco CCNP) using Notability. The recent changes have confused me but your overview has help a lot. Thanks. :)

Love the tutorial!

am actually using Notability to prepare a tutorial on my healthcare data app

Would you be willing to share what software you are using to record your screen and show where your mouse is moving?

Thanks!

Is there a feature that allows you to change your hand writing so it looks typed or more neat?

[carlamurrayirving-moreland]

You helped me find STICKERS 😂THANK YOU!!

[travisneese]

Deniz, I want to know what programs you are using and how you present as a bubble and share your notability screen? Need help! Thanks.

[노상윤-lm]

thanks for the useful clip. i am wondering if you know how to link to the website?

[lindaphillips]

Thank you for this tutorial! I am learning a great deal. I am slogging through Long Covid and trying to improve my skills. You are quite obviously intelligent and have an attractive accent. Just a request, please?
Please pause a moment to allow the viewer to find were you are on each screen, as you select a new icon, or button. The entire tutorial is sooo fast. Well done? Yes, indeed!
But I had a difficult time trying to get through your rapid instructions while trying to find where you were on your screen. I spend a lot of time rewinding and rewinding.
Please slow it down…
Thanks!!!

Is there a way to exit presentation mode when adding an external monitor? When connected, it doesn’t allow separation in each display, and goes straight to a mirror screen presentation.
