I've looked a dozen tutorials and was just about to give up and wing it BUT your tutorial saved me the heartache and time! Thank you for your detailed yet simple explanation!
I loved this. It took me a few times of watching. 🙄 By far the BEST keynote tutorial for a digital planner. Trust me. I probably watched too many and got confused. I came back here and was able to understand the master slides which is truly the secret weapon. I split screened TH-cam and Keynote on my iPad and that helped as well. Thanks Genevieve!
thank you so much for this! I needed to learn this. I got tired of looking for a digital planner that works for me -- not for anyone else - but just for me. And more often than not, I would just settle for whatever I can find online. Watching your video was such a treasure, lifesaver, and oh so educational. I've had my macbook for about a year and a half now, and I'm not a student so I haven't explored much of keynote AT ALL. I literally had to pause, play, pause, play again while watching your video. I had no idea keynote could do this. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! Sending love from the Philippines!
This is EXACTLY what inspired me to make this video!! I was so tired of buying planner to "make them work for me" when the truth is that no one BUT me could do that!! I hope you found your planner peace!!
I was having a little issue with my design and I was searching YT, this video hands down is the best video ever!!!! You should really start a class you would be a great instructor. Thanks so much for this video 💛
I am speechless. I have watched so many tutorials and you just took my skills to another level. I am starting a new planner from scratch right now. Thank you!!
This was an excellent tutorial, I managed to follow it even though I was using Keynote on my iPad! Everything thoroughly explained but far from boring! Thank you x
Hi! I also have to say that your instructions are so helpful. I actually purchased a linked customizable planner last night and I could not figure out wth was happening for hours even after asking the seller so many questions. I wanted to cry and finally gave up realizing I’m working way too hard to not be using my own design and customization. Thank gd I came across your video and I started creating my own original planner, thanks to you! I’m so impressed that I finally can make sense of it all. You’re a really great instructor.
You nailed it. "I’m working way too hard to not be using my own design and customization.". SO MUCH THIS!!!! I hope you'll share pics of your final design!!
Wow, this is SO helpful! Thank you! I clearly made a planner the hard way before. I really struggled when I needed to change something either due to updating or finding a small error. Using the MASTER slides will totally save me so much time and frustration as I start working on my next calendar. Thank you.
Teacher Karen I started out making them the hard way too and would get SO frustrated when I wanted to make a tiny change and would end up having to change ninety slides! This video was born out of necessity for the sake of my sanity 😂🖤🖤
Thank you for this. This is the BEST one i've seen so far. I started designing them on my iPad and then moved to my computer and it's 100x faster on my laptop. The problem I ran into was all of the tutorials for this was on how to make this on the iPad. You make this so much easier and you did it all in less than 20 minutes. Thanks again.
I was looking for a digital planner to purchase. I SOOOO love this tutorial. Thank you so much for the valuable information I have created quite the planner. I worked as I watched so this 20 min was about a day for me but it was so worth it. I learned how to do it. I had already copied the master and put on the things there before you said it. Thanks for sharing.
So you can have a different master for each “type” (weekly, daily, finance, etc) of page? Any limits to how many masters? Holy Cow!! My mind is blown 🤯!!!! Thank you SO SO MUCH! ❤️
You are very welcome! I haven't run into a limit yet but I don't think I've had more than six masters. I know keynote shows like 10 or 12 customizable options.
I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE! This was the easiest, most efficient "How to Make a Digital Planner..." tutorial there is! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I greatly appreciate how you stayed on topic and walked us through everything step-by-step without taking upwards of half an hour to an hour to get there (like most of the others out there). This was truly the best.
I was so proud of my self that I was able to follow your directions and make my own planner! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Do I put my stickers and other fun stuff in Keynote before I move it to GoodNotes or when it is in GoodNotes? I am having trouble being able to pull up my digital stickers I have made in Procreate or bought from Etsy for someone else.
The majority of people do all the fun stuff with stickers and text in Goodnotes. If you are saving them to your camera roll you will open your planner in Goodnotes and select the "photo" tool - its the one at the top that looks like a little photograph. Tap on your planner and your photo menu will pop up. If you have them saved in iCloud, Dropbox, or Drive everything its he same except at the last step you want to select "insert from" instead of tapping an image. Hope this helps!!
Genevieve, thanks for this gr8 tutorial. You mentioned setting your custom size for the ipad, but if I were considering creating and offering to sell planners/journals, how do I determine the size to go with for potential customers, since screen sizes vary so? Or, will it resize appropriately on other systems? Thank You in advance for your response.
Such an AWESOME tutorial!! Has helped me so much with a student planner that I was making for my daughter. Best one by far and I’ve viewed several. Lol!! Thank you!! New subbie!!

Guuurrrrrrrlllllll! You just made my day!!! I’m new to this and believe me I’ve wanted to give up cause going thru slide by slide is no fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Morning! Keynote still functions the same. As far as I am aware there are no major changes. This is Keynote for Mac, not iPad. Maybe that's the difference?
Thank you so much for your tutorial, it is so very helpful. I am stuck though. lol I don't have an iPad so I am using my MacBook. I have my pages and all my links connected. I export it as a PDF however when I open it up in Goodnotes or in Procreate( I sent it to my MIL to try) none of the links work in fact in Procreate it won't even open. Can you help me with that. I have searched and searched for answers and havent found any yet.
Clittle I did the entire creation on my MacBook. Procreate isn’t a PDF annotation app so it won’t read PDFs at all. Alternatives to GoodNotes are Xodo, MetaMoJi, ZoomNotes. Not all will recognize links though. Make sure you read the fine print on the app screen! In GoodNotes you need to make sure that your tools are turned off. There is an icon on the top right that turns off your pen, eraser, etc and when that is active the links become available, I hope that helps!
Thank you! ❤️ I had a big problem though. When I imported the PDF into GoodNotes it was very very slow to load ... Took 10 secs per page to load!!! 😩 I sorted it out by reducing the file size of the pdf... phew! Question.... how can you add a title page without upsetting all the links????
HAVe you considered teaching this on Udemy or Cousera? You explain in detail which is what I need. Thanks. I see so many people designing and putting them on Etsy. What a grand idea.
This video is super helpful thank you so much! If you want to make a planner with weeklies AND dailies there is no way to use master slides for dailies right? So I have to address every single day of the year to a certain slide myself?
I was watching another tutorial about the whole making a digital planner and stop because I couldn't get how to make the rings. I went searching more videos and came across yours. Thank you so much for this tutorial it was very helpful.
Thank you for the tutorial it was super thorough and easy to follow! Quick question, if I go back to add a title slide to the beginning of the Keynote presentation will the links automatically adjust? Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Wondering what I am doing wrong... I added links for the weekly schedule as shown, but when I click on any other months other than January, the links take me to the same slides (13-17). What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
It’s difficult to guess without seeing it but if I had to I’d say that the order the slides were created is the problem. So for example if you created the links for slides 13-17 and then created February for example followed by copy/pasting the weekly slides they will still go where you told them to which is 13-17. If you wanted to create consecutive months that will change the links to match you need to copy the entire month including the weeks. If this didn’t make sense please send me an email or dm on Facebook and I can try to walk you through it.
In Keynote go to File -> Export -> PDF. Then save it where your Goodnotes app has access (cloud, dropbox, etc). In Goodnotes you select Import from the main screen (not inside a document). Navigate to your PDF and tap it. Goodnotes will do the rest!
Great Tutorial!! I do have a question though. Can this be used on the new Macbook Pros? I'm in college and use a Wacom trackpad with a stylus to write my notes. Is there a way for me to be able to make my own planner through keynote and continue to use it on the computer? I dont own an iPad or apple pencil. TIA!
It absolutely can! I have a Wacom tablet as well and the stylus works great with Goodnotes on my MacBook Pro 2020! Much easier than trying to use the trackpad, let me tell you!
@@genevievemazer ahhhhh thanks so much for your reply!! I've downloaded GoodNotes and am working on my planner right now! So excited. thanks again :)))
Hello! Question: If you do January, week,week,week then the same for the other months do you have to make weeks for every month or can you link each month to the same weekly pages? Am I making sense?
Stacey Schwartz You can copy the month and the weeks 12 times to make a year. BUT- its a lot harder to keep track this way so be very diligent of checking your links any time you change something! 🖤
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!!! SO much quicker. I am wondering if there is a way to use hand-drawn monthly and weekly spreads from procreate, rather than creating tables in keynote, but still have it be linkable (like from monthly spread to weekly when you click in that week...) Could I just put an invisible table on top of where the link should be? Thanks again!
Hi! It's super easy to do! Just create a shape (I usually do rectangles) and set it to No Fill and No Outline. In Keynote it will still look like a thin outline is there but that's just so you can see where your shapes are. If you hit the preview button they'll be invisible. Then you can just select the shape and Add Link (CMD+K). Voila!
So, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but after I've made my masters and then start going in to actually fill out my planner, like the actual days of the individual months and things, because the table is part of the master slide I am unable to type within the actual table. I know I can create a text box and just line it up with the table, but that seems extremely tedious. Is there another way around this that you know of?
If it’s something that’s duplicated (days of the week, etc) I make a secondary master with that text. Something like days of the month in a fully dated calendar will need to be added individually. It’s definitely one of the more tedious aspects.
HI 🙋🏽♀️ Thanks for the content. I have having a little issue when I export the Pdf in to Noteshelf. The hyperlinks work great. However when I tap on the screen to write with the pen the page turn to the next page. I noticed in another planner that I have purchase you need to swipe the page to turn the page. How to I get the planner I created to do the same swipe function to turn the page instead of just a tap with pen to turn?
Page flip orientation is a feature of Noteshelf. If you go to the little wrench tool on the top left when you are in the planner there will be an option for “Scrolling”. You can set it to horizontal or vertical. Also in the same menu is a “gestures” function. Check there for swipe abilities. Hope this helps! 🖤
Keynote has a grid option (I do it by making tables) but to my knowledge it doesn't have a dot grid option yet. So how I do it is to create a dot grid in Photoshop (you can do this in Affinity Photo too) and stick it on my master slide as I would any other shape. I hope they come out with a dot grid option soon!
hi! thank you for explaining this tutorial! after watching i used keynote to make my digital planner, however exporting to pdf with lowest option; my file size is over 500+mb. may i check if you have any tip to reduce the pdf size?
Yes! Type in "PDF compressor" in a google search and you'll see a lot of options! You might run into a few snags with the file size (some places charge to compress files that large) but there will be a couple you can use. 🖤
Seriously THE best video out there on this!! I want to start making Digital lesson plan books as I am a teacher!! Question...when I go at add papers to make it pretty....do I do that in Keynote also??
@@paigeadams5320 If you're using it in goodnotes you have to either long-press where the link is and select "open link" from the menu that pops up or you have to turn off they stylus tool using the little pen icon on the top right that looks like it has a swirl around it
Very nice! Even though I don't create on an Apple product, I could see how all of your steps easily translated over to Powerpoint. Thank you, it was very helpful! :-)
You "Export As" as a PDF file (I usually choose "best" quality). Then you can either upload it to your cloud storage (dropbox, Drive, etc) or airdrop it directly to your tablet. In your program you go to the main page (not in a document) and hit the + symbol and select "import"
So happy to have discovered your videos, Subscribed! Thank for your detailed explanation. Can you make a video on how to have the tabs show on left and right? Like when you flip the pages, the “back” of the tabs would begin to appear on the left side as if flipping through the pages.
This made my world! I'm having some issues with the links, but I'm sure that's not a you problem or your information. You are so awesome for making this video! I'll have to send you a link to mine.
Thank you Leni for this amazing video. I just tried your method of utilizing the "edit slides" feature. This made my making changes so much easier. Curiously, with respect to hyperlinks created in Keynote, do you know how to create links that move from one side to the other of the planner? That is, with the monthly tabs placed on the right side, if I were to click on January, for example, it would automatically move that tab to the left side of the planner, like a real one does. If you do, it would be so great if you could explain how that's done, or better yet, create another great video so others can learn too.
Good morning! In regards to switching the tabs to the opposite side unfortunately I know of no way to make it do that like a physical planner except to create a new master for each month. You're essentially taking a document and using it as a book so there are of course limitations. That said, you certainly CAN design each month separately and have it function that way if you choose
All you need to do is export it as a PDF to, say, Google Drive, iCloud, etc and then in Goodnotes you tap the plus sign on the main page, select "Import" and then point to where you saved it

I export it as a PDF however when I open it up in Goodnotes or in Procreate( I sent it to my MIL to try) none of the links work in fact in Procreate it won't even open. Can you help me with that. I have searched and searched for answers and havent found any yet.
Clittle I did the entire creation on my MacBook. Procreate isn’t a PDF annotation app so it won’t read PDFs at all. Alternatives to GoodNotes are Xodo, MetaMoJi, ZoomNotes. Not all will recognize links though. Make sure you read the fine print on the app screen! In GoodNotes you need to make sure that your tools are turned off. There is an icon on the top right that turns off your pen, eraser, etc and when that is active the links become available, I hope that helps!
Genevieve Mazer thank you so much for your reply.
Secret weapon for sure !!! Thank you so much ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You’re most welcome!!
Thank you! ❤️ I had a big problem though. When I imported the PDF into GoodNotes it was very very slow to load ... Took 10 secs per page to load!!! 😩 I sorted it out by reducing the file size of the pdf... phew! Question.... how can you add a title page without upsetting all the links????
Annette Louwen Adding pages shouldn’t upset the links at all. Keynote recognizes a new page and adjusts the links accordingly 🖤
HAVe you considered teaching this on Udemy or Cousera? You explain in detail which is what I need. Thanks. I see so many people designing and putting them on Etsy. What a grand idea.
She really should. She did an awesome job.
This video is super helpful thank you so much! If you want to make a planner with weeklies AND dailies there is no way to use master slides for dailies right? So I have to address every single day of the year to a certain slide myself?
oODaraOo There IS a new way to do this that I’ve discovered. Video incoming soon!
Genevieve Mazer omg I can’t wait this has been bugging me for a long time!!!
I was watching another tutorial about the whole making a digital planner and stop because I couldn't get how to make the rings. I went searching more videos and came across yours. Thank you so much for this tutorial it was very helpful.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Thank you! How do you zoom in and zoom out in keynote, like you do in your video. It look so easy, but I don't know how. Thanks!
Just pinch! Works on the iPad or on the MacBook trackpad 🖤
@@genevievemazer Thank you so much! It works!!
Thank you for the tutorial it was super thorough and easy to follow! Quick question, if I go back to add a title slide to the beginning of the Keynote presentation will the links automatically adjust? Thanks again!
They do! Keynote is awesome like that 🖤
@@genevievemazer Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Wondering what I am doing wrong... I added links for the weekly schedule as shown, but when I click on any other months other than January, the links take me to the same slides (13-17). What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
It’s difficult to guess without seeing it but if I had to I’d say that the order the slides were created is the problem. So for example if you created the links for slides 13-17 and then created February for example followed by copy/pasting the weekly slides they will still go where you told them to which is 13-17. If you wanted to create consecutive months that will change the links to match you need to copy the entire month including the weeks. If this didn’t make sense please send me an email or dm on Facebook and I can try to walk you through it.
I liked it. But how to you get your planner to goodnotes in the end?
In Keynote go to File -> Export -> PDF. Then save it where your Goodnotes app has access (cloud, dropbox, etc). In Goodnotes you select Import from the main screen (not inside a document). Navigate to your PDF and tap it. Goodnotes will do the rest!
Very good and informative video! Thanks for the refresher!
Thank you for watching!
Would this work for the iPad mini. I bought one to be portable, I don't want to carry a large iPad with me. The mini fits in a purse!
It certainly does! I have an iPad mini 5 that works flawlessly!
Great Tutorial!! I do have a question though. Can this be used on the new Macbook Pros? I'm in college and use a Wacom trackpad with a stylus to write my notes. Is there a way for me to be able to make my own planner through keynote and continue to use it on the computer? I dont own an iPad or apple pencil. TIA!
It absolutely can! I have a Wacom tablet as well and the stylus works great with Goodnotes on my MacBook Pro 2020! Much easier than trying to use the trackpad, let me tell you!
@@genevievemazer ahhhhh thanks so much for your reply!! I've downloaded GoodNotes and am working on my planner right now! So excited. thanks again :)))
This is sooooo useful ,.... thank you so much for giving tutorials ....I am a fan of journal and planner anyways ....thanks again
Hello! Question: If you do January, week,week,week then the same for the other months do you have to make weeks for every month or can you link each month to the same weekly pages? Am I making sense?
Stacey Schwartz You can copy the month and the weeks 12 times to make a year. BUT- its a lot harder to keep track this way so be very diligent of checking your links any time you change something! 🖤
Hi! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!!! SO much quicker. I am wondering if there is a way to use hand-drawn monthly and weekly spreads from procreate, rather than creating tables in keynote, but still have it be linkable (like from monthly spread to weekly when you click in that week...) Could I just put an invisible table on top of where the link should be? Thanks again!
Hi! It's super easy to do! Just create a shape (I usually do rectangles) and set it to No Fill and No Outline. In Keynote it will still look like a thin outline is there but that's just so you can see where your shapes are. If you hit the preview button they'll be invisible. Then you can just select the shape and Add Link (CMD+K). Voila!
Genevieve Mazer awesome!!! thank you so much!!!
So, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but after I've made my masters and then start going in to actually fill out my planner, like the actual days of the individual months and things, because the table is part of the master slide I am unable to type within the actual table. I know I can create a text box and just line it up with the table, but that seems extremely tedious. Is there another way around this that you know of?
If it’s something that’s duplicated (days of the week, etc) I make a secondary master with that text. Something like days of the month in a fully dated calendar will need to be added individually. It’s definitely one of the more tedious aspects.
HI 🙋🏽♀️
Thanks for the content. I have having a little issue when I export the Pdf in to Noteshelf. The hyperlinks work great. However when I tap on the screen to write with the pen the page turn to the next page. I noticed in another planner that I have purchase you need to swipe the page to turn the page. How to I get the planner I created to do the same swipe function to turn the page instead of just a tap with pen to turn?
Page flip orientation is a feature of Noteshelf. If you go to the little wrench tool on the top left when you are in the planner there will be an option for “Scrolling”. You can set it to horizontal or vertical. Also in the same menu is a “gestures” function. Check there for swipe abilities. Hope this helps! 🖤
Seriously the best video ever for creating a digital planner! How do you create dot grid to mimic the pages in my branded paper notebook?
Keynote has a grid option (I do it by making tables) but to my knowledge it doesn't have a dot grid option yet. So how I do it is to create a dot grid in Photoshop (you can do this in Affinity Photo too) and stick it on my master slide as I would any other shape. I hope they come out with a dot grid option soon!
hi! thank you for explaining this tutorial! after watching i used keynote to make my digital planner, however exporting to pdf with lowest option; my file size is over 500+mb. may i check if you have any tip to reduce the pdf size?
Yes! Type in "PDF compressor" in a google search and you'll see a lot of options! You might run into a few snags with the file size (some places charge to compress files that large) but there will be a couple you can use. 🖤
This is a fantastic short cut, the only downside is you can't have tabs the change sides and you change pages but its worth it to create it quickly!
One way to get around that is to create your base planner in master slides and then just overlay the images you want on the individual slides
Seriously THE best video out there on this!! I want to start making Digital lesson plan books as I am a teacher!! Question...when I go at add papers to make it pretty....do I do that in Keynote also??
Yes! You can either layer paper (more memory) or you can select the shape and insert an image or pattern in the shape with the "style" tab!
@@genevievemazer Thanks so much!!
Thank you! I don’t understand much in English, but I can do it. Now I have a question, how can I export my planner for use in goodnote with my Ipad?
You want to File>Export To> PDF. Make sure "Best" quality is selected and then hit Next. Name your planner and hit Export
Leni Digitals oh thank you so much ! ;)
@@genevievemazer I did this step but now my links won't work- any suggestions?!
@@paigeadams5320 If you're using it in goodnotes you have to either long-press where the link is and select "open link" from the menu that pops up or you have to turn off they stylus tool using the little pen icon on the top right that looks like it has a swirl around it
What iPad do you have? I’ve watched so many of these videos trying to learn and by far you made this so simple! THANK YOU!!! ((Hugs))
I have the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 and the mini 5. Love them both!
where were you able to find binder rings?
I make them myself in Procreate and Photoshop
@@genevievemazer How do you make them? can you make a video on this?
@@yesheniazuniga903 I have a video here with a free template to make them in Procreate
Very nice! Even though I don't create on an Apple product, I could see how all of your steps easily translated over to Powerpoint. Thank you, it was very helpful! :-)
How do you upload this planner template to GoodNotes or a comparable app?
You "Export As" as a PDF file (I usually choose "best" quality). Then you can either upload it to your cloud storage (dropbox, Drive, etc) or airdrop it directly to your tablet. In your program you go to the main page (not in a document) and hit the + symbol and select "import"
I love this tutorial the best I have seen for sure!!!!
Thank you so much!!
So happy to have discovered your videos, Subscribed! Thank for your detailed explanation. Can you make a video on how to have the tabs show on left and right? Like when you flip the pages, the “back” of the tabs would begin to appear on the left side as if flipping through the pages.
I think I can come up with something
@@genevievemazer That would be awesome!! Thanks!
Wow thanks for this video!! Are you able to save this as an interactive pdf?
N R E E N S Yes as long as you ‘Export as PDF” any program with the capability to read the linking and interactive features will be able to do so.
This made my world! I'm having some issues with the links, but I'm sure that's not a you problem or your information. You are so awesome for making this video! I'll have to send you a link to mine.
Stephanie Orange I’d love to see it!
Omg bless you! Thank you so much. where did you get the rings? :)
I make them myself using Procreate 🖤
This was amazing!
Thank you Leni for this amazing video. I just tried your method of utilizing the "edit slides" feature. This made my making changes so much easier. Curiously, with respect to hyperlinks created in Keynote, do you know how to create links that move from one side to the other of the planner? That is, with the monthly tabs placed on the right side, if I were to click on January, for example, it would automatically move that tab to the left side of the planner, like a real one does. If you do, it would be so great if you could explain how that's done, or better yet, create another great video so others can learn too.
Good morning! In regards to switching the tabs to the opposite side unfortunately I know of no way to make it do that like a physical planner except to create a new master for each month. You're essentially taking a document and using it as a book so there are of course limitations. That said, you certainly CAN design each month separately and have it function that way if you choose
Where do you find the binder coil rings? Thank you!
Here ya go!

Thank you! So easy to follow!
Thank you for watching!!
Hi. Can I do this in power point? Thanks
Yes! The functionality is practically identical but the interface is different. So while the features are all there the "how" will be different
The best tutorial I have seen on making a digital planner
I have a question, can I make it in the iPad app?
Absolutely! All of the same functionality is there as well 🖤
@@genevievemazer Thank you, you have a new subscriber
Thank you!! 🖤🖤
i set slide for January from 13-18, When i go to the next month do i begin the slide with #19? Great Video! Thanks
I sent you a DM with what I hope is an understandable reply 🖤🖤
So helpful! Thank you!
This is a wonderful tutorial. Just what I was looking for. Thank you so much 😊. Would you mind helping get it downloaded to my good notes?
All you need to do is export it as a PDF to, say, Google Drive, iCloud, etc and then in Goodnotes you tap the plus sign on the main page, select "Import" and then point to where you saved it
Nice 😍 thank you for sharing 💜
