When Remarkable updated the software from v2 to v3+ they made a frustrating change that closes the file you have open when it goes to sleep.

In v2, when your Remarkable went to sleep, it would wake on the same file you had open. The good news is you can have the same experience on your Remarkable running v3 software, it is a simple option change and an easy fix—no hack needed.

This will ensure your Remarkable goes to the last open page when it returns from sleep!

  1. In your Remarkable Tablet, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Storage.
  3. Toggle “Sync before sleep” to off.
  4. You’re done!

I hope this helps someone else!

PS. I’m not associated with Remarkable, but if you think this menu item should be easier to find, turned on by default, etc. you can give Remarkable feedback on this link. Just click Beta feedback, it’s OK if you’re not on the Beta, as it will list all currently available software versions. Select the version of software you are running and give them (not me) the feedback.
