Common issues
reMarkable App
- There is a known issue in the reMarkable app where when you export with a custom template, your text will remain but your custom template in the background will be missing. To remedy this issue, you will need to export via email directly off of your reMarkable device.
Windows 10
- If you notice a red ( / ) icon appearing while trying to drag your template onto the template installer then you simply need to close down the application and launch it again. This only happens sometimes when opening on windows for the first time.
