Drag to copy page as next page in notebook? (alien.top)

Hello, as title says, can you drag finger or scroll down to copy the page template to add an identical new page? This would be for a custom template made from a pdf, or I could just start with the one pdf page if the device doesn’t support custom templates. I’m evaluating whether this device will be good for officiating sports. I’ll be evaluating hundreds of routines and each one will need a new page. We usually use a template with reminders to how the routine at a certain level is to be evaluated/scored.

Thanks!

Templates are image files which are used as "background images" for pages in notebooks, i.e. documents which are not PDF files. In a notebook, you can choose which template you want to use for every page, including using the same template for multiple pages. The reMarkable software comes with a collection of templates.

PDF files can be duplicated, but individual pages within a PDF file cannot. Pages within a PDF can be re-ordered, and blank pages can be inserted into the document. When you're viewing a PDF file, the original page from the PDF is the "background image" for that page. (The same is true of EPUB files, which are converted to PDF when you upload them to the tablet.)

Custom templates are not supported by reMarkable (the company), but there are ways to upload new templates to the tablet and "trick" the reMarkable software into using them. This page (which I really need to update) has more detail about this.

If you want to upload custom templates but you're not comfortable with using SSH and editing JSON files, you'll probably want to look into a third-party solution. RCU is what I use, it's not free but it's not expensive, and it does a lot more than just custom templates.

In a PDF file, from the Grid View, you can long press any page which will bring up the context menu of Tag, Duplicate, Send, Move, Delete.

This does allow you to duplicate individual pages within a PDF file.
