How to use the index page in GoodNotes

Use the NozomuNoto index page as the main map inside GoodNotes.

On this page
  1. Use Index as your home base
  2. Reference links
  3. Use the NozomuNoto index page in GoodNotes
  4. Index and GoodNotes are different tools
  5. Tiny Index test
  6. If the Index feels confusing
  7. Next GoodNotes Index checks

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

Use Index as your home base

The Index page is your planner map. In GoodNotes, start there when you want to jump to a month, week, template, note section, or tutorial area without scrolling through many pages.

  1. Open your NozomuNoto planner or notebook in GoodNotes.
  2. Go to the Index page.
  3. Tap Read Only before using links.
  4. Tap one section name or button.
  5. Check that GoodNotes moves to the right page.
  6. Return to Index when the planner starts to feel large.

If tapping writes on the page, GoodNotes is probably still in writing mode. Tap Read Only, then test again with your finger.

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

  4. Tap one linked section from the Index, such as a month, template area, notes divider, or goal section. Confirm GoodNotes moves to the correct page.
  5. If tapping writes, highlights, selects, or does nothing, return to Read Only. In editing mode, you can also long-press the Index link and choose Open Link.
  6. Use the Pages panel when you want a visual page grid, but return to Index when you want the planner map.

Index and GoodNotes are different tools

The NozomuNoto Index is the PDF map. Use it to jump to planned sections, months, templates, notes, and tutorial areas. GoodNotes Pages, Favorites, Bookmarks, and Outline are app tools for thumbnails and return points.

Tiny Index test

  1. Start from Index. Tap one clear month, template, notes, or tutorial link.
  2. Check the jump. Make sure GoodNotes opens the page you expected.
  3. Return to Index. Use the Index tab, your saved favorite, or the Pages panel if you need the map again.
  4. Write after the test. When the link works, switch back to writing and add one small note.

If the Index feels confusing

Use Index for planned navigation, not for tracking every copied page you create. When you copy a template page, the original Index link usually still goes to the clean template section. Use GoodNotes Favorites, Bookmarks, or Pages for copied working pages.
