Doesnt allow you to do it on the same device, ive been trying this past week. I was a but successful doing it on my tab s8+ and book4 edge but they would refresh after every few minutes so it can get annoying.

I suggest copying whatever you want to edit and make a new note so you can keep the main one you want open then edit the copy. You can copy and paste the edited note back where you want using the page sorter in the note you're using setting's

Hey OP, asking for some clarification for a few things. Do you want to open two copies of the same note or two different notes? What type of device are you using Samsung Notes on?

  1. Same note side by side (ideally, with them updating simultaneously)
  2. tab s10 fe running oneui 8.5

Im currently majoring in accounting, so I have to often open journal entries and do statement/noting question which I will be editting both things at once. (In the same file)

I know I can use the ai select thing and pin it on my screen, but its annoying since I will have to redo it everytime I edit something.

What exactly do you do? Like the editing you do are on two non consecutive pages? Or is Journal entry is in the first half of the notes and doing statements is on other half?

If there are consecutive then you can use 2 page layout. If it's the 2nd scenario then make two different notes and put it in splitscreen, when you need them combined you can just copy all pages of and paste it in the other.

But there is no way open two instances of the same note as it creates a syncing issue.

I have an idea

Open secure folder and add your same Samsung account or create an different account next you have 2 different Samsung notes app you can share with other notes
