Open two notes side by side

You may occasionally need to view two notes side by side for reference or comparison.

At this time, MyScript Notes does not support running two instances side-by-side on Android. This means you cannot open and view two notes simultaneously in split screen. Android allows only one instance of an app by default, unless the app has been specifically designed to support multi-instance mode, which MyScript Notes currently does not.

If you need to view two notes at once, you can open MyScript Notes in split screen on one side and open the exported notes (PDF or text) in a different app on the other side.

Dual View mode in MyScript Notes enhances multitasking by letting you work simultaneously with two different notes side by side. This is useful for comparing notes, dragging and dropping between notes, referencing past content while writing, or managing multiple notes at once.

There are four ways to open MyScript Notes in a new window. Choose the one that works best for your workflow.

  • Use the ... menu at the top of the screen
  1. Tap the ... button located at the top center of the screen.
  2. Tap Full Screen, eureSplit View, or Slide Over.
  3. Tap the MyScript Notes icon to open it in a new window.

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the dock.
  2. Long press the MyScript Notes app icon until it lifts.
  3. Drag it to the side of the screen to open it in a new window.

  1. Long press a note in your folder view until it lifts.
  2. Drag it to the side of the screen to open it in a new window.
