How can we help?

Choose Create → New pack → Study Notes, add a named entry, then add notes, images, or Canvas. Save your first file with This device → Save as… or Google Drive → Save as… in the Save dropdown.

Choose Create → New pack → Flashcards. Add an entry, then give its front and back text, an image, or Canvas. Save the pack, then use Quiz to flip and rate your cards.

Use New entry, fill Name and optional Group (optional), and click the creation button. To change an existing entry, select it and choose Edit selected entry, or right-click its row and choose Edit Entry. Finish with Save entry changes.

In Edit notes, select answer text inside one paragraph or list item. Click Quiz blank or press Ctrl+Q, then Save notes. The marked answer becomes a Fill the blanks prompt in a Study Notes quiz. Use Quiz blank again to remove the marker without deleting the answer. An entry supports up to 64 blanks.

Select a Study Notes entry, or Gold Star a set, then click Study Mode in the Notes/Canvas panel. Choose entries in the reader; on mobile, use the heading to open the entry list and swipe between entries. Flashcards uses flip-and-rate quizzes instead.

In an editable Study Notes entry, choose Upload image, select files, prepare each one, and click Save image. In Flashcards, Upload image replaces the selected face’s content with the first chosen image. Insert image into notes is a separate editor command.

Select an editable Study Notes entry, click Tag Microscope Slide in Images for this entry, search and choose a hosted slide, adjust its preview, and click Add. From a signed-in main Microscope session with an editable pack, stationary right-click → Add to entry saves the current hosted view instead.

In a Study Notes entry, select Canvas → Edit canvas, draw in the full-viewport workspace, then Save canvas. Save the pack separately to update its file. Flashcards has a separate face Canvas with Pen, Eraser, colors, background controls, and Save.

Finish entry drafts, open the Save dropdown, and choose This device or Google Drive. Use Save as… for a first device file or a separate new copy. Save updates an existing owned linked destination when supported. Wait for completion and check the top-bar status.

Sign in, finish local drafts, then choose Save dropdown → Google Drive → Save or Save as…. Review the save chooser’s filename and final action. Update selected file / Update matching file updates an existing file; Save as new file creates another private file. Wait for the save result.

Save updates an established writable device file or your owned linked Drive pack. Save as… chooses a separate named destination; on Drive it creates a new private file. A browser download without a file-picker link needs another Save as… for the next exported copy.

Choose Create → From device, select a .gqb or .gqa file, and use Open pack with its confirmation. For a private Drive file use From Google Drive → Choose from Google Drive; for public material use Shared packs → Open pack. Save current work first because import replaces the target system’s local library.

First sign in and save an owned private Drive pack, including pending changes. Open Share, fill Pack title * and Author * plus optional details, review Student preview, then click Share this pack and its Share this pack? confirmation. Wait for the publishing result before copying the shared link.

It saves your own copy of the public pack in Google Drive and requires sign-in. It is different from This device → Save as…, which exports a device file. Open pack can open the shared read-only version without making an editable owned copy.

Use Reopen pack after the Update available notice. Review Reopen latest version? and confirm. If local changes exist, the confirmation is Discard local changes? Save a separate copy first if you want to retain those changes.

The app reports a conflict rather than automatically merging. Save as… preserves a separate local copy; Reopen pack loads the latest remote file after confirmation; Save anyway then Confirm overwrite deliberately replaces the remote version with your local work.

Local work is held in this browser. Device backups are files you save yourself. Private Drive packs stay in your Google Drive and become public through Share. Saving your profile can separately update its public author fields. Browser-local storage can be removed by sign-out, Reset app, or browser cleanup.

Yes. Local editing, studying, device pack files, and public browsing are available without an account. Private Google Drive access, cloud profiles, public sharing, and some community actions require sign-in. In the connection window, Continue locally for now keeps local use available.

Do not assume that. Sign-out clears browser-local app/session data. Save your packs to device files or Google Drive first. Already saved external files and published packs are not deleted by signing out.

The Keyboard shortcuts guide lists note formatting, Find, Hyperlink, Quiz blank, undo/redo, entry selection/copy/order, quiz Check/Reveal, and viewer navigation. Most Ctrl shortcuts also accept Command on macOS, but Quiz blank is Ctrl+Q specifically. Each shortcut depends on focus and app context.
