If your download includes an instruction file or start-here file, open that first. Import only the product file you need after you know what the file is for.

Open this first

  1. Open the instruction or start-here file first. It may show the product folder link, download notes, Library/Builder link, or tutorial map.
  2. Check where the main product file is located. Look for the planner PDF, notebook PDF, sticker files, cover files, template file, app file, or ZIP that matches the product name.
  3. Download the planner, notebook, sticker, cover, or template file you need. Save it from Drive, Etsy, Library, Builder, or the product folder before importing.
  4. Extract the ZIP first if the file is inside a ZIP folder. Open the ZIP, then use the files inside.
  5. Choose the file that matches your app or device. PDF for planner and notebook apps, PNG or sticker files for stickers, cover files for covers, and app files only for the named app.
  6. Save a clean backup before importing a working copy. Keep one original file outside the app.
  7. Import only the correct product file into your app. Skip reference files, color indexes, and instruction files unless the app guide tells you to use them.

If you are unsure, send your product name and a screenshot of the files you see before importing everything.

This page is a file map. Use app-specific steps only when the problem is about buttons, importing, hyperlinks, bookmarks, or page management inside an app.

Match what you see

  • Instruction PDF or access PDF: open it first. It may be the doorway to the full product folder, especially when a marketplace limits download file size.
  • Planner or notebook PDF: this is usually the main file to import into GoodNotes, Notability, Noteful, Penly, Samsung Notes, Flexcil, Xodo, Noteshelf, Kilonotes, or another PDF annotation app.
  • Google Drive folder: download the file from Drive instead of only previewing it. If Drive opens a preview, use the download button or menu.
  • ZIP file: extract it first. Inside may be PDFs, PNG stickers, sticker books, cover files, app-specific files, or instruction files.
  • NozomuNoto Library or Builder page: use the Library/Builder guide. This is separate from Etsy download files.
  • Tutorial pages inside the product: read them when you want to understand the product structure and what each page is for.

Best guide to open next

When the guide does not match what you see

1. The screenshot looks different from your app

What happens: the app changed its buttons, moved a menu, or uses a different label on your device.

Example: the tutorial says Page Sorter, but your app calls it Thumbnails, Pages, Page Overview, Content Manager, or Page Manager.

What to do: use the Device and App article for your exact app when it is available. If the exact app guide is still pending, use the general app choice and product troubleshooting pages, then check the app maker's official help for the current button names.

2. The download opens as a Google Drive preview

What happens: you can see the file, but it opens like a preview instead of saving to your device.

Example: a large planner PDF opens in the browser, but it has not actually saved to Files, Drive, or your tablet storage yet.

What to do: use the Drive download button or menu, then save the file before importing. For detailed steps, use the download guide above.

3. The file is still compressed

What happens: the app rejects the file, or the PDF/sticker files are not visible yet.

Example: you select a ZIP in the app importer and the app says the file type is not accepted.

What to do: extract the ZIP first. Import the PDF, PNG, app-specific GoodNotes file, sticker folder, cover file, or instruction file from the extracted folder.

What happens: Google Drive or another page asks you to request access instead of showing the product files.

Example: a saved old link, forwarded link, or copied browser tab opens a restricted Drive page.

What to do: go back to the official instruction file, Library page, Builder page, or order email and open the link from there again. If it still asks for access, send the product name and where the link came from.

5. You are not sure which product tutorial to read

What happens: the product folder contains several files, versions, orientations, colors, or tutorial pages.

Example: the folder has Landscape and Portrait files, or Yume Noto V1, V2, and V3 articles exist in the Help Center.

What to do: match the product name and orientation first: Landscape with Landscape, Portrait with Portrait, Weeks with Weeks, Months with Months, and the correct Yume Noto version. Then open that Product Tutorial article.

Final check before importing

  1. Product name matches: Yume Techo, Shibui Techo, Yume Noto, stickers, or covers.
  2. Orientation matches: Landscape files go with Landscape products; Portrait files go with Portrait products.
  3. File type matches: PDF for planners/notebooks, PNG or app-ready sticker files for stickers, and cover files for covers.
  4. App guide matches: choose the live Android or e-reader guide for the device you actually use, or use the general app guidance while the exact app screenshot guide is pending.
  5. Backup is safe: keep one clean copy before writing, moving pages, changing covers, or importing many stickers.
