More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly, though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed, so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.\n\nWhile trialing Pro Features, you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.\n\nPro Features are either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your iPhones and iPads that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to iPhones and iPads. Macs require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).\n\nThe one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it, go to the Settings app → Apps → Paper → Purchases → toggle \"Show Lifetime Option\".\n\nIf you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license), go to Paper’s page in the App Store and press the rounded button with the price next to the Yearly subscription option (or next to the Lifetime in-app purchase).\n\n\n# BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS\n\nBusinesses, schools, and organizations can use one of the following methods to purchase the Pro version of the app:\n· Apple Business Manager\n· Apple School Manager\n· Volume Purchasing\n\nThe Pro version of the app can be accessed from this link → paper.pro/get\n\n\n# MARKDOWN FORMATTING SYNTAX\n\n# Heading 1\n## Heading 2\n### Heading 3\n#### Heading 4\n##### Heading 5\n###### Heading 6\n\n**Bold**\n__Bold__\n\n*Italic*\n_Italic_\n\n~Underline~\n\n~~Strikethrough~~\n\n==Highlight==\n::Highlight::\n\n`Inline Code`\n\n```\nCode Block\n```\n\n[Link Text](http://paper.pro)\n![Alt Text](http://image.jpeg)\n\n- Bulleted List\n- Bulleted List\n\t- Nested Bulleted List\n* Bulleted List\n* Bulleted List\n\t* Nested Bulleted List\n\n1.
