On a Mac, **Pop Out Page** opens a page in a small window of its own.
Right-click a link, use the **File** menu, press **Ctrl-Cmd-O**, or
Cmd-click a link. See [Popping out a page](/popping-out-a-page).

**Restore from Backup…** in the **File** menu brings back your notes from a
backup. See [Restoring a backup](/backing-up-and-restoring#restoring-a-backup).
In the sync window, press and hold **Turn Off and Erase** to turn off Cloud
Sync and erase your synced notes. See
[Erasing your synced notes](/sync-across-devices#erasing-your-synced-notes).

- On iPhone and iPad, the menu that appears when you select text has
  **Format** and **Turn Into**. On a Mac, **Format** has its own menu in
  the menu bar.
- On iPhone and iPad, you can swipe a bullet off the screen to delete it.
- Dragging from the margin selects bullets.
- **Cmd-Up** and **Cmd-Down** fold and unfold the selected bullets.
- Pasting over selected bullets replaces them.
- Stepping back with a breadcrumb or a swipe returns you to where you were
  on the page.
- Dates in a template stay as words, with a slow shimmer, until you insert
  the page with `/`.
- Holding a dragged bullet near the top or bottom of the window scrolls the
  page.
- You can add a device to Cloud Sync by scanning a QR code, and paste a
  license key to turn it on.
- Messages about updates and errors stay until you close them.
- Mimir Highlighter lets you choose the format it copies in.
- Panels are darker, with a fine grain. Guest blocks are a flat, faint
  green, and the code block's copy button is easier to see.

## Fixed

- A journal day written on another device appears in your journal.
- Renaming a page no longer merges it with a new page under its old title.
- Notes from a newer version of Mimir on another device no longer leave
  this one empty.
- Text pasted from a code editor stays text instead of becoming a code
  block.
- A code block too wide for the screen scrolls sideways on iPhone and iPad.
- Joining Cloud Sync no longer leaves a stray empty bullet behind.
- No black bar shows at the bottom while Mimir opens on iPhone.
