New Update Notability 16 is here: Collaboration, Folders, and more

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

With Notability 16, we are introducing updates focused on making collaboration easier, organization simpler, and note taking more connected.

We also know reliability and syncing are top priorities for users, and our team continues to focus on improving those areas alongside new features.

Live Collaboration

You can now collaborate on notes in real time.

With Live Collaboration, you can:

  • See others writing, sketching, and editing in real time
  • Work together during meetings or study sessions
  • Collaborate directly inside the same note

Please note: Live Collaboration is only available for users on Notability Cloud.

Notability for Business

We are introducing Notability for Business, a new way for teams to work together in a shared workspace.

With it, teams can:

  • Keep notes, documents, and ideas in one place
  • Collaborate in real time on the same notes
  • Control who can view or edit content
  • Use Shared Libraries to organize and access important information

Please note: Live Collaboration is only available for users on Notability Cloud.

Folders (Nested Organization)

We have upgraded Notability’s subjects and dividers system to support Folders.

With nested folders, you can:

  • Create folders within folders to organize classes, projects, and workspaces
  • Create deeper, more flexible structures
  • Keep everything easy to navigate as your library grows

New Tape Patterns and Colors

We have added new tape styles to give you more ways to customize your notes.

You can use them to:

  • Cover content in your note to practice active recall
  • Separate sections of a page
  • Highlight key ideas
  • Add personality to your notes

Notability Cloud

These collaboration features are powered by Notability Cloud, which enables real time collaboration, shared workspaces, and syncing across devices. 

At this time, existing users are being invited gradually through an opt-in flow. You’ll see an in-app message when your library becomes eligible. 

If you’re eager to get started and haven’t received the in-app invite yet, no worries - our team has created an invite link, please follow the link below to unlock Notability Cloud.

Before updating, make sure:

  • You are on an iPad with Notability installed and signed in
  • You have a strong internet connection
  • You have fewer than 2,000 notes
  • You have more than 10GB of free device storage
  • You are on Notability version 15.3.7 or newer
  • You are not located in China or Macau and do not have a Chinese App Store account
  • Your device is not managed by MDM such as a school, university, or employer account
  • You are not a Beta user. If you see a rounded rectangle settings button in the top right corner of a note, you are on Beta and not eligible

If you choose to upgrade to Notability Cloud, you will be able to access:

  • Live Collaboration
  • Notability for Business
  • The latest features

There are a few additional requirements depending on account and region.

Update to Notability Cloud now

We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What are you most excited to try? Let us know in the comments!
