Branches can be collapsed and expanded, added to and deleted – and lead back to the page they come from • New: "Insert Mind Map" in the insert menu creates an empty mind map to fill in yourself • New: a summary can be inserted into the notebook as a page • Fixed: flashcards, cloze exercises and summaries are now also created from the printed text of a PDF • Fixed: summarising long documents failed. The summary now draws on sections from across the whole length and shows its progress The AI tools require a device with Apple Intelligence. Processing stays on the device. ### 2.3.1 — 2026-10-06 Fixes for zooming and for drawing on images. • Fixed: what you drew on an image could disappear behind it. Drawings now stay above images – in PDF export and printing too • Fixed: after zooming, the page jumped to a different place • Fixed: when zoomed in far, the page turned grey and the text of a PDF vanished • Fixed: with the text tool selected, the page could not be moved with one finger • Typed text stays sharp when you zoom in • On iPad you can zoom in further than before ### 2.3 — 2026-10-05 More dependable syncing between your devices. • Changes from another device now appear on the open page – without closing and reopening the notebook • Fixed: when you wrote in the same notebook on two devices, strokes from the other device could disappear. That no longer happens • Fixed: on iPhone, handwriting made on a larger device was missing at the right and bottom edges of the page • Share a single document: in the Documents menu, each PDF in a notebook can be shared or printed on its own – with everything you wrote on it • FlexiNotes is now available for Mac too – with the same notebooks through iCloud ### 2.2 — 2026-10-04 What’s New in FlexiNotes 2.2: • Zotero Integration & Sync: - Import PDFs, notes, and annotations directly from your personal or group Zotero library. - Insert citations and generate bibliographies on your notebook pages. - Write annotated PDFs and recognized summaries back to Zotero with a single tap ("Write back to Zotero"). • Smarter Multitasking ("Open Alongside"): - Open two notebooks side by side for seamless cross-referencing. - Smooth navigation: Expanding a secondary notebook preserves your navigation history—simply tap Back to return to your previous notebook. - Streamlined toolbar: Long academic titles now truncate cleanly, ensuring Back and sidebar buttons remain visible and responsive even on smaller screens. • Handwritten Math Solver & Function Plotter: - Circle handwritten equations with the lasso to solve them directly on the page. - Convert function formulas into crisp vector graphs with one tap. • Interactive Tables: - Insert structured tables into your notes.
