Good first-day setup in Notability

The first day is for proving that the PDF imports, links move, handwriting works, Content Manager opens, bookmarks are findable, and one template copy can be made.

When Notability feels confusing

1. Links do not move

What happens: tapping writes or selects instead of opening a planner link.

What to do: choose the hand tool, then test the same link again.

2. Template pages become messy

What happens: the clean template page was filled and there is no clean master left.

What to do: re-import a fresh copy of the original PDF and copy the clean template again.

3. Bookmarks are too crowded

What happens: every interesting page gets bookmarked, so Bookmarks becomes hard to use.

What to do: keep only Index, current month, current week, and active copied pages.

If something still feels off

If the full planner feels overwhelming, keep only Index, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and one Notes or Template page active for the first week.

For Notability, send the product name, device, app version, and the exact step where you get stuck if you need help.

When possible, test page moves, template copies, bookmarks, or cover changes on a copied planner first, so the original download stays clean.
