Packet Studio turns selected notes into an ordered PDF delivery with an optional cover and contents page, a page manifest and a preview before sharing. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Open Library β†’ Packet Studio and choose your notes. Arrange their order and name the delivery. 2. Choose the cover and contents options. Save the packet definition to reuse this arrangement. 3. Build the PDF, inspect its preview and share the PDF with its page manifest. Reopen saved packets from the studio. The note library, camera and photo scanning, page adjustments, folders, tags, OCR and individual document exports remain available. Library metadata now saves as one atomic file, with recovery errors shown before further writes. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 20 notes and 100 source pages per packet. Up to 50 saved definitions. The PDF uses stored page images and has no searchable OCR layer or redaction guarantee. Saved definitions reference the current notes; each built export is a separate frozen copy. Missing or unreadable pages stop the build. Image inputs and exports have bounded sizes. iPhone and iPad. No account required.
