Use these steps to work with NozomuNoto PDF planners, notebooks, stickers, covers, and template pages in CollaNote. The official links below are for downloads, updates, and current help pages.

First-day setup

Keep your first setup small. Start with the PDF, one link, one note, and one real page.

  1. Save the original download as your clean backup.
  2. Import the actual planner or notebook PDF into CollaNote.
  3. Open the planner or notebook.
  4. Go to the Index page.
  5. Tap one link to test navigation.
  6. Write one small note or task.
  7. Try one real page you will use today.

Decorating, organizing every section, copying every template, and setting up the whole planner can wait for later.

Use these for current app or device help, downloads, updates, vendor help, and manual references.

  7. You can leave decorating many pages, organizing every section, copying every template page, and full planner setup for later.

Small setup order

CollaNote feels easier when the first setup stays small: import, Index link test, one note or task, and one real page for today. After those work, the planner is ready for normal use.

Leave these for later

  1. Decorating many pages with stickers.
  2. Organizing every section.
  3. Copying every template page.
  4. Changing covers or page order.
  5. Adding many bookmarks at once.

When CollaNote feels confusing

What happens: you tap a planner tab, but the app acts like you want to write or edit.

What to do: switch to the hand / navigation tool for links, then return to writing tools after the page opens.

2. The planner feels too big

What happens: there are many pages and you are not sure where to start.

What to do: use only Index, the current month, the current week, today or notes, and one real page first.
