How to make digital planner templates - Goodnotes & other PDF apps

[@BirdKeeprFarock]

God bless you, I don't know people are obsessed with gate keeping this stuff

[@christineleary1688]

So thrilled I found your videos! I have transformed my hard cover planner that I use for my business (& life) into digital over a year ago by litterally ripping out every page, scanning and uploading into GoodNotes! I wish that I had the time to set up a new planner....with tabs and hyperlinks and all but running my own business doesn't allow for that kind of time. These tips are going to help my edit my pics/pdf and overlay into one of planners I purchased! You have truly made my day as I plan to lock down this weekend to plan Q2! A MILLION THANKS Katie!!!

[@shellmyers4872]

You are amazing so talented and so patient your tutorial was awesome. I was able to follow it. I’m going to try it tomorrow and thank you thank you thank you. I just recently bought one of your planners from the Etsy shop and I did need your tutorial to load it but I’m so glad I did because now I am learning so much more. Thank you.

[@elyanaelha7748]

It's was helpful thanks for that

[@lillywachowiak]

Great video! How to "lock" the page so that it has a template for the user to fill but the user cannot move the tables etc?

[@tiffanysnc0195]

thanks so much been trying to figure this out for 4 months now sense i got my ipad been a great help thanks

[@LorenaRazlaf-y8j]

The video is really good but I have a question, how did you create the book? (Where you introduced everything)

[@simoncourtney5197]

Thank you for posting this, I'm new to goodnotes and use it for work, it's an absolute game changer. I copied what you showed - and I now have a custom week planner. It's not as Gucci as yours though👌🏼

[@clholm61]

What a great tutorial. I learned so much. Now to practice as I watch the video again. Thank you so much!

[@alinemaciel4451]

I loved ! Make more videos like that ❤

[@minusthesparkle]

Many thanks for sharing this video and different techniques. I am a Lister as well and I like to have lists of information as I am learning a lot of life skills later than most. I’ve made some custom pages for myself using your techniques that you have shared here. =) I also wanted to thank you for showing us the tips and tricks I had no idea that Google docs was so responsive with the pen.

Hi! My landscape planner is two spreads on each page and my portrait planner is one spread for each page. Hope that makes sense!

[@RobinMathews]

Thank you for the tips! Is there a way to make the background more permanent? If I write or type over something and use the eraser or lasso, it also impacts my new background. I’m using GoodNotes 5. Thanks!

[@RobinMathews]

Oh! And how did you “undo” in Procreate? I couldn’t see the gesture. Thanks!

[@jadevt1939]

You could try deselecting "image" in the eraser settings. I think that'll protect your screenshots completely. You can also select only pen or only highlighter to erase specific things

[@jannismccollier]

this is so helpful, thank you!!

[@HappyDownloads]

Glad that helped!

Can you use a template from a lesson plan that you have on your computer? I have created a preschool format that works well for me??

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi there! You could take a screenshot or snipping of the template and copy and paste it in and try to use it. It won't be transparent though so may not quite match the paper color.

[@Caerigna]

ty!

[@Thehouseoftatum]

Hi thank you for the content. How do you link the days on your monthly to the daily page template? I'm using an iPad i don't have a Mac. Currently when i copy the links from the calendar the fame corresponding links go to the first set of days. Then i ended up creating almost 365 days and manually linking. There had to be an easier way. And that many pages causes lagging. Any suggestions?

[@surlestracesdubonheur369]

wow thank you so much

[@HappyDownloads]

No problem at all!

[@KRS802]

This is helpful but I’ve been trying to make the grid in GoodNotes and whenever I use the eraser, the whole box gets erased. Is there a way around this? Or do I have to go back when I want to erase each time? thanks

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi! Please could you send us a message on the happydownloads contact us page and send screenshots and we'll help. www.happydownloads.net/contact-us/

[@RosaGarcia-kn5dt]

How do you create links to the tabs?

[@HappyDownloads]

Goodnotes doesn't allow you to create links inside their app, same as most other apps at the moment. You can put a new template over an existing one that is already hyperlinked. The hyperlinks in the planner are all created outside of the app - if you want to do this on your iPad you can try Keynotes

[@kelsiejohnson1491]

Great video! I have a question maybe you can help me. I just started digital planning this week.... when I past my page over the editing page.... then I try to put stickers or text on them. I cant move the stickers or text becuase when I lasso them it lasses the whole page too and moves it. Is there a way to avoid this? Or merge the new page to the old one your pasting over?

[@HappyDownloads]

Are you using Goodnotes? Instead of the lasso you should be able to use the image icon to move images individually

[@xfesto5734]

Thank you!

[@HappyDownloads]

You're welcome!

[@zlatabicheva6525]

[@HappyDownloads]

[@saraisaucedo2768]

I can’t figure out how to add the color . It goes directly to the google docs app which doesn’t give you the option of “format”

How do you get double pages

[@anaghamahankali9875]

how are you navigating to the meal plan page by clicking on the table of contents ????

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi! The index should be hyperlinked to the individual templates. Please email me with your order number if it isn't work for you.

[@lookaway375]

Hi there! Do i need an ipad to make these templates and can i use it on my non apple laptop instead? Thanks!

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi there - This videos shows it for Goodnotes but the approach works on other iPad digital planning apps too. I haven't tried it on Android devices as yet.

[@thetruththatlies]

How did you set it when you were in the index page,you click on “meal plan” and it bring you straight to the page?

[@HappyDownloads]

Those are hyperlinks I build into my digital planner :) You can tap on any hyperlink and jump to that page.

[@thetruththatlies]

@@HappyDownloads is there already tutorial on your channel how you do it? I’ve learn how to create hyperlink to outside webpage, but not within the good note as how you did with your journal/planner.

Very frustrated. I have your Happy Download Planner on my iPad Pro. Been using it for a year. I don’t understand how to add the templates that came with my purchase. I want to use the Meal Planner template and duplicate it for each week and add it to my weekly planner as an additional page. Can not figure out how to duplicate any of the templates that I received . Could you direct me please, to one of your videos? I am using one note because I have an android phone and needed a cross platform planner. Thank you so much.

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi there, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Please could you reach out to me through the www.happydownloads.net website and let me know your order number and the app you're using and I'll send you a link to help. Kind regards, Rina

How do you create a screenshot with a Generation 5 IPad? There is no home button

[@HappyDownloads]

You can also swipe from the bottom left corner with your apple pencil and that should take a screenshot too

My Google docs looks nothing like that, mines is so simple... missing a lot things ☹️

[@HappyDownloads]

What device are you using?

[@ghassans4157]

If you have to copy and paste every time on a new page that’s not really a template 🤦‍♂️

[@HappyDownloads]

Hi there - Once you've made the page once, you can use the Goodnotes copy page function to copy and paste the template page you created as many times as you like. You don't need to recreate it again on a new page. Hope that helps!
