Set up the page

The left column is blank for questions and keywords. Write the main notes on the ruled right side, then add a short summary below the dividing line. The top 12 mm inside the margins stays open for a title and date.

In More settings, change the cue column width or summary height. These measurements start at the content edges, inside the page margins. The preview shows the space left for notes.

Use the cue column

Turn a heading into a question you can answer from memory. Cover the notes on the right, try the question, then uncover the answer and correct it.
