How to Use Hyperlinks in GoodNotes (Digital Planner Guide)

🧭 What Are Hyperlinks?

Hyperlinks are clickable areas in your digital planner — usually tabs, icons, or text — that help you jump between pages instantly.
For example, you can tap “Monthly Planner” to go straight to your monthly overview, or tap “Home” to return to the main dashboard.

🪄 Step-by-Step: How to Use Hyperlinks

Step 1. Open Your Digital Planner in Goodnotes
Import your planner (PDF file) into Goodnotes just like any other notebook.

Step 2. Switch to “Read-Only Mode” (Presentation Mode)
At the top right corner, tap the pen icon to turn off editing.
When editing mode is off, you’ll be able to tap hyperlinks instead of drawing or writing.

Step 3. Tap the Tabs or Buttons to Navigate
Now, simply tap on the tabs, icons, or buttons in your planner — they will take you to the linked pages automatically.

Step 4. Switch Back to Edit Mode When Needed
When you want to write or decorate your pages again, tap the pen icon to turn editing back on.
