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

If tapping a tab, date, Index item, or button writes on the page instead of moving, the planner is usually okay. Noteshelf may still be in writing or editing mode.

  1. Turn on Read-Only Mode before tapping planner links.
  2. Try tapping the link with your finger instead of Apple Pencil.
  3. Test one obvious link from the Index page.
  4. Make sure the PDF has been imported into Noteshelf rather than only opened in Files, Safari, Google Drive, or a preview screen.
  5. If links still fail, import a fresh clean copy of the PDF and test again before setting up the planner.

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

  1. Open the imported NozomuNoto PDF in Noteshelf.
  2. Turn on Read-Only Mode before tapping planner tabs or Index links.

  4. Tap Edit when you want to write, highlight, or lasso again.
  5. If a link fails in Read-Only Mode, make sure the PDF is imported into Noteshelf rather than only open in Files, Safari, Google Drive, or a preview screen.
  6. If links still fail, import a fresh clean copy of the PDF and test one Index link before editing the planner more.

Why Read-Only Mode matters

Noteshelf separates reading/navigation from editing. Read-Only Mode is for tapping planner tabs, Index links, months, weeks, and date buttons. Edit mode is for handwriting, highlighting, lasso, stickers, and page work.

  1. Test one outside tab. Tap a clear month, section, or Index tab.
  2. Test one inside link. From the Index or monthly page, tap a weekly, daily, template, or notes link.
  3. Return and write. After the jump works, tap Edit and write one small test note.

1. Edit mode is active

What happens: tapping a tab writes, selects, or opens editing controls.

What to do: turn on Read-Only Mode and tap the same link again, preferably with your finger for the first test.

2. The PDF is only in preview

What happens: the file is open in Files, Safari, Google Drive, or another preview screen, not inside a Noteshelf notebook.

What to do: import the actual PDF into Noteshelf, then test one Index link.

3. The working copy has too many edits

What happens: links worked before, then became harder to use after page changes or exports.

What to do: import a fresh copy of the original PDF and test the same link before editing more pages.

4. The original file needs checking

What happens: the same link fails in Apple Files or another PDF viewer too.

What to do: contact NozomuNoto with the product name, exact page, link tapped, device, iPadOS version, and Noteshelf version.
