Synchronize Notebooks for iPhone with Notebooks for iPad

1. 
   

With the introduction of WiFi Sharing, Notebooks has a built in WebDAV server which  can be used to synchronize two versions of Notebooks running on separate devices. To do so, follow these steps:

1. -Update Notebooks on your iPhone to the latest version (3.2 or above)
   

2. -In Notebooks on your iPad, enable "WiFi Sharing" in settings and set up a WiFi user.
   

3. -At the top level book, select "Share This Book" from the context menu.
   

4. -In the view that appears, turn ON the switch "Show System Files" to make sure that all task data and details are transferred, too.
   

5. -In Notebooks on your iPhone, change the WebDAV settings to the details given on the iPad's Sharing info.
   

6. -On your iPhone, move to the book that you would like to synchronize and select Sync from the context menu.
   

Now all your books, notes, tasks and documents will be synced from your iPhone to your iPad.

Of course, the same procedure works in the opposite direction and between any devices running Notebooks, too. If you use this procedure regularly, it is best to always sync in the same direction.

Quickly add a New Note

1. You add a new note by briefly tapping the Add button in the book view or tapping the Compose button in the note view. This immediately brings up a new empty note and you are ready to type. In this case, the text up to the return will become the title of the note. When you come back to that note and change the first line, the title will change as well.
   

2. If you decide to change the title of that note through the info dialog, the connection between title and first line of the note is cancelled  and changing the first line no longer changes the title.
   

3. One more thing: the "/" character is not allowed in a note's title. So when you use a / in the first line of you note, it will be replaced by a "-" in the title. This will also remove the link between title and first line.
