Thanks for testing EduNotes.

Takes about 30–40 minutes. Use a representative large document: a scanned textbook or a long slide deck exported to PDF.

Document used size and page count

1. Import the large document and note its size and page count.
2. Confirm there is visible progress or activity while it imports.
3. Navigate between distant pages, zoom, and rotate where supported.
4. Write continuously, erase, undo/redo, and switch tools.
5. Add dense ink to several pages and keep going for 20–30 minutes.
6. Close and reopen. Check that your annotations and position in the document are intact.
7. Export, then reopen on another platform. Check that the ink is complete and correctly aligned.

You'll need a projector, external display, or AirPlay receiver. Look at the audience display itself, not just your device.

Display connection

1. Connect wired or via AirPlay and start Presentation Mode.
2. On the audience display: correct page, correct orientation, no controls or private content visible.
3. Write, erase, change pages, and switch tools. The audience display follows each change.
4. Disconnect while writing, reconnect, and carry on.
5. Change the display's orientation or resolution, or switch to another display, if your equipment allows.
6. Lock and unlock, then background and return to EduNotes while presenting.
7. End the presentation. Normal editing works and all your ink is still there.

Use disposable documents only. The first group needs one device. The sync groups need two, signed in to the same sync method. Mark the methods you can't use Not tested. Force-quitting is enough: please don't try to crash the app or your device.

Sync methods and devices

How saving and sync work

• EduNotes saves automatically about a second after you stop writing, and straight away when you close a document. There is no Save button.
• Sync only runs when you ask: pull down on the document list on iPad and iPhone, or press ⌘R (or Sync Now) on the Mac. Wait for the result message, such as "Sent 3 changes", before syncing the other device.
• iCloud and EduNotes Server: a change should arrive on the other device's first sync. Shared Folder: your cloud service finishes the upload in the background, so wait about 2 minutes before syncing the other device. It's a Fail if the change hasn't arrived after two syncs (about 5 minutes for a shared folder).
• A document can appear on the other device as Downloading… before its contents arrive. That's expected.

Saving and offline (one device)

1. In airplane mode: import a PDF, annotate it, close and reopen it, and export it. Everything works and nothing looks different offline.
2. Still in airplane mode, start a sync. You get a clear failure message and the document is unchanged.
3. Write, pause for a couple of seconds, then force-quit and reopen. All your ink is there, on the page and with the tool you left.
4. Write and close the document straight away, without pausing. Reopen it. All your ink is there.
5. Force-quit while you're in the middle of writing, then reopen. At most the last second or two of writing is missing, and the document opens normally.
6. Find the PDF you imported in its original location (Files or Finder) and open it. It's unchanged, with none of your ink in it.

iCloud

1. Edit on device A and sync, then sync on B and open it. Edit on B and sync, then sync on A. Both devices show both edits, and the document appears once.
2. Put both devices in airplane mode and add different ink to the same page on each. Reconnect, then sync A, B, and A again. Both devices show all the ink from both, in a single document.
3. Start syncing a large document and turn on airplane mode before it finishes. Reconnect and sync again. The document appears once, with the same title and all its ink.

Shared Folder

1. Edit on device A and sync, then sync on B and open it. Edit on B and sync, then sync on A. Both devices show both edits, and the document appears once.
2. Put both devices in airplane mode and add different ink to the same page on each. Reconnect, then sync A, B, and A again. Both devices show all the ink from both, in a single document.
3. Start syncing a large document and turn on airplane mode before it finishes. Reconnect and sync again. The document appears once, with the same title and all its ink.

EduNotes Server

1. Edit on device A and sync, then sync on B and open it. Edit on B and sync, then sync on A. Both devices show both edits, and the document appears once.
2. Put both devices in airplane mode and add different ink to the same page on each. Reconnect, then sync A, B, and A again. Both devices show all the ink from both, in a single document.
3. Start syncing a large document and turn on airplane mode before it finishes. Reconnect and sync again. The document appears once, with the same title and all its ink.

When both devices changed the same thing

• New ink and new pages from both devices are always kept. You're never asked to choose.
• The same mark moved or recoloured on both: the more recent change wins. Erased on one, edited on the other: the erase wins. Renamed on both: one name wins.
• Known issue: if both devices edit the same page's presenter note, one version of the note is lost. There's no need to report it.
• Expected extra documents: "Name (Conflicted Copy)" after Reset Sync State…, "Name copy" after opening the same .edunote file twice, and two documents with the same title if you imported the same PDF separately on each device. Any other duplicate, especially "Name 2" after a sync, is a Fail.

Run the group for the device you're on, plus the "All devices" group. Mark the other platforms' lines Not tested. Please don't fill your everyday device's storage to test low-storage behaviour; we cover that separately.

iPad

1. Use Split View and Slide Over where supported, and the other available windowing modes.
2. Resize the window repeatedly and rotate the device.
3. Switch between Pencil and keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts and focus behave correctly.
4. Present while multitasking.

Mac

1. Resize windows and move in and out of full screen.
2. Use multiple windows if supported. Keyboard shortcuts and focus behave correctly.
3. Open and save through file dialogs.
4. Remove an external display while EduNotes is using it.

iPhone

1. All tools are reachable on the small screen, in both orientations.
2. Take an incoming call mid-session, then return.
3. Background and lock, then return.
4. Present to an external display.

All devices

1. Lose network mid-session. Failure messages are clear and retrying is safe.
2. Open a document from a file provider that is unavailable. The message is clear.
3. A long session of an hour or more stays stable.

Use the accessibility features you rely on day to day, and the languages you read natively. Mark the rest Not tested.

Languages and accessibility features used

1. With VoiceOver, complete: import → annotate and choose tools → present → save.
2. Controls have sensible labels, focus moves in a logical order, and keyboard navigation works.
3. Contrast is comfortable to read throughout.
4. Larger Text and Reduce Motion are respected where supported.
5. In each language you read: toolbars, dialogs, errors, and onboarding read correctly with no clipped text.
6. Long filenames display sensibly in each language.
7. No misleading or unnatural terminology. Tell us the better wording in the notes.
