# Chatter — How to Use It

Chatter is a simple writing screen. You write with the pen; the person you are
talking with reads what you wrote. That's it.

## Writing

- **Write with the pen**, just like on paper.
- The pen's color and thickness are whatever is set in the normal reMarkable
  screen. (To change them, see "Changing the pen" below.)

## The two buttons (top of the screen)

```
 ┌──────┐                              ┌───────┐
 │ Back │                              │ Clear │
 └──────┘                              └───────┘
```

- **Clear** (top right) — erases everything and gives you a fresh page.
- **Back** (top left) — leaves Chatter and goes to the normal reMarkable screen.

A button turns **gray** the moment you touch it, so you know it heard you. You
can press a button with **either the pen or your finger**.

## Erasing

- **Erase a little:** rub a **finger** back and forth over what you want to
  remove, like erasing pencil with your fingertip.
- **Erase everything:** tap **Clear**.
- You can also flip the pen over and use the **eraser end**, like a pencil.

## More room to write

- **Two fingers, drag up or down** to scroll, when you want more space than one
  screen. The page follows your fingers.
- (After scrolling, the screen may blink once to clean itself up. That's normal.)

## Going back and forth

- **Leave Chatter:** tap **Back**.
- **Return to Chatter** from the normal reMarkable screen: place **four fingers
  on the screen and hold** for about a second.

## Changing the pen (color / thickness)

Chatter copies the pen you last used in the normal reMarkable screen. To change
it:

1. Tap **Back** to go to the normal screen.
2. Open a page, pick the pen, color, and thickness you want, and **write a little
   with it**.
3. **Go back to the document list** (this is what saves your choice).
4. Return to Chatter (four-finger hold). Your new pen is now used.
