GoodNotes allows you to import or create templates for your calendar.

• Using a Pre-made Template:
  1. Search for a calendar template online or in the GoodNotes in-app marketplace.
  2. Download the template as a PDF or image file.
  3. Import the template into GoodNotes by tapping the “+” icon and selecting “Import.”
• Creating a Custom Template:
  1. Open a new notebook in GoodNotes.
  2. Choose a blank page or a grid/ruled template.
  3. Draw your calendar layout manually using the pen tool, creating a grid for days, and labeling each row with the days of the week.

3. Add Dates and Labels

Once you have your template set up:

• Write or Type the Dates:
  1. Use the pen tool or text tool to fill in the dates.
  2. You can also add holidays, special events, or reminders directly on the calendar.
• Customize Labels:
  1. Add labels such as “To-Do,” “Goals,” or “Important Dates” as needed.
  2. Use different colors and highlighters to organize tasks by category or priority.

• Add Images:
  1. Use images or photos to highlight important dates or events.
  2. Adjust the size and placement to fit the design.

5. Use Layers and Lasso Tool for Flexibility

• Layers:
  1. Keep your calendar layout on a separate layer if you’re using a PDF, so you can edit dates without affecting the design.
• Lasso Tool:
  1. Use the lasso tool to move or resize elements easily.
  2. This is helpful when adjusting dates or rearranging content.

6. Save and Duplicate for Future Use

• Once your calendar is complete:
  1. Save it as a template for future months or weeks.
  2. Duplicate the calendar template to use for other months without recreating the layout.
