Studyset-Specific Styles: Build Your Own Learning Space

💡Enable Studyset-Specific Styles to customize a dedicated learning space for every study set, and to save and reuse your study habits:

MarginNote's feature configurations are highly customizable: in each study set, you can choose the configuration that feels most natural and best fits your current needs.

Whether it's handwriting tools, excerpt colors, or your most-used menu bar buttons, all of these personalized configurations can be saved, exported, and imported. When you switch study sets, the tool configuration switches automatically, with no need to set things up again. You can also export your configuration with a single tap to share it, or import one to quickly reuse someone else's efficient study environment, lowering the startup cost of learning.

2 Export Topic Style

In Excerpt Tool Settings, tap Export Topic Style, select the components you want to export (all selected by default), and finally tap Export to generate a style file in .mbtoolstyle format. Store it somewhere convenient for reuse next time, or share it with others.

💡Later, when you create a new study set for a highly similar study scenario, you can import this configuration file directly to carry over your previous study habits, instead of setting everything up manually again.
