Split screen: Link page to note

I'm very happy with my Boox Lumi, but unfortunately I was not able to make notes in the split screen for specific pages of a pdf.

I found posts for firmware 2.1.2 where it was possible to enable linking of notes to pages of a pdf ("Please go to Settings->Global Settings->Sidenote data sync to make the sidenote linked to the page or entire book").

I cannot find this option in firmware 3, nor could I find anything in the manual.

Your help would be appreciated. 

Thanks 

Josef

  any update on this? Max lumi seems to be missing that side note that syncs with the pdf page and that  gets embedded to the pdf itself.

  Still no update on this?
  
  I am sure this is one of the most important functions for a large percentage of users who read and annotate PDFs on the larger Boox devices.
  
  I am using a Note Air 2 and I am limited to writing notes directly on the page, in the margins.
  Manually writing down the page which a note refers to or manually linking a note to a page is far too slow and inefficient to be useful, so even little sticky notes on paper books are superior to the current user experience for annotating PDFs.
  
  Will the option to automatically link sidenotes to the current page of the document ever be brought back or is it hidden somewhere else in firmware v3?
  
  Thank you so much for your help! This feature makes or brakes my use of my Boox device!

  Also would like this. Reading other posts it seems there is a significant number of users requiring this feature. I'd settle for either linking side notes to specific pages or inserting the side note into the pdf.

  Dear customer,

  It is possible to enter the split-screen view to take notes and read books at the same time.

  

  After that, the device will create a notepad that links to the document. 

  Sincerely,
  Derek

  Sorry this does not answer the question. We want to be able to link the note to an exact page. Then when we read another page make another note that is linked to that page.
