Step 2: Reactions (and how to use them)
Hit 1 to create a new Heading. Use this when the professor changes slides or makes a new point. This will make it much easier to structure your recording later.

You’re pretty sure that last point will be on the test… Hit 2 to mark this moment as ‘Important’. This icon will appear on your recording to come back to later.
