Manage what syncs from the Library

Outcome: You will update selective sync after setup and send newly selected pages to OneNote.

Before you begin

• Complete guided setup.
• Let the official reMarkable desktop app finish downloading recent changes.

Change the selection

1. Open the Library tab.
2. Use Search to find a folder, notebook, PDF, or page.
3. Expand the relevant row.
4. Select the pages you want to sync. Selecting a notebook also turns on Auto for its future pages. Selecting a folder or All notes selects what is available now; use its More menu to include future notebooks too.
5. Use the All, Not selected, or Selected filters to narrow the list.
6. Review the selected-page count at the top.
7. Select Sync selected when you want ReMarkSync to catch up the enabled pages now.

Selecting a folder selects everything inside it, and mixed rows contain selected and unselected pages. Sync selected catches up all enabled pages immediately, without waiting for the next automatic check. Example using sample data.Open full size

Expected result

Expected result

The selected-page count reflects your choice. Newly selected pages queue for OneNote; unselected pages remain in the reMarkable library and are not sent.

Choose what happens to new notes

Open a notebook or folder’s More menu to set automatic inclusion to On, Off, or Use parent setting. The All notes menu offers Use default setting, which defaults to Off. An Auto · inherited badge identifies a rule coming from a parent folder.

Turning Auto Off preserves current selections and existing OneNote pages. Unchecking a notebook also stops its Auto behavior, and Undo restores the previous selection and rule. Clearing a folder’s selection does not turn its Auto rule off: use its menu if you also want future notebooks to stay unchecked.

Existing unchecked items stay unchecked when Auto is enabled; PDFs remain manual. Follow Include new notes automatically for the menu walkthrough, upgrade opt-in, and examples of folder exceptions.

If your screen looks different

The Review items control appears when ReMarkSync finds content that is not selected. A page can also show Not selected or an unavailable-local-file state.

Troubleshooting

Sync selected is disabled

Select at least one page and confirm the trial or subscription is active. ReMarkSync also needs the page file to be available locally.

A recent note is missing from Library

Open the official reMarkable desktop app and wait for the note to appear. Return to ReMarkSync and refresh or force a new check.
