Importing PDFs & Images in GoodNotes #digitalplanning #tutorial #goodnotes

[Music] hello everyone today I want to show you how to import PDFs and images into goodnotes especially with the recent updates there's been you know a little confusion on how to get your new PDFs or things that you download from Etsy into good notes so I'm just gonna do a quick little tutorial to show you a couple different ways in which you can do that all right so first of all I really love the multitasking tool and it's probably the most used tool that I have when I opened to goodnotes Windows by each other in a previous video I had shown you the different ways that I organized my my good notes and one of the things that I have for example is planner inserts and in my planner inserts page is where I've all the different kinds of PDFs that I found online I kind of keep in there so one of the easiest ways to import something is when you hit new on the little plus arrow and I'm going to know maximize this when I hit new right here it's gonna give me the option of different things that I can include and for example if you are at a meeting and they are giving you an agenda you can scan that document right in and it'll show up here if you want to take a picture of something in a meeting you can do that as well another great thing is that you can just do an import now if you're importing directly to your downloads it's going to appear right here but you can also search different places in that you have connected you can connect your Dropbox you can connect your Google Drive you could connect your iCloud and obviously things that you have on your iPad so here are just a couple of the places that you can search for something that you already have so for example if you have a document in your Dropbox a PDF that you want to import in that is an easy way you kind of find the document that you want to pull in and you can include that for example let me see if this document will upload once that's there it appears right in so for example this is you know an old document that I just found just to show you an example of how easy it is to pull in something from your drives now let's say that you are searching for you are searching for something online something as simple as a planner template for example okay and that's really easy and what I did here is I could just do a planner template search on let's see Google and I'm gonna have lots of different options now I like to look at images to see kind of something that I want obviously there's lots of things that you can purchase online but there's also lots of things that are out there and that are free that you can also use and play around with so for example let's say that this is a template that you like so again let me go back to that okay so I'm going to pull my good notes right here and I'm going to go to let's just say a new page in my just go in here and let me just add a new page and adding a new page is easy right here I can just put add a page after it's gonna ask me if I want to do the current template and I can and now that I had found this okay sometimes it'll let you download it which you can do and sometimes you can pull it in as an image okay if you pull it in and it's literally drag and drop you can crop this now and you can let's say just use the actual template itself not the background to get part of the image I mean blood a little tighter and all of a sudden I can utilize this if I want to try out this template for my week and again this is just a quick image that I found on on Google now an additional thing that I do let's say that I like this and I want to use it week to week is I also add this in I'm going to put copy and I'm gonna show you how I kind of create a template book for myself with my own sticker book in my sticker book I have a section for bullet journal templates and what I do is when I find a template that I really like that I might want to use over and over again I will literally put it in here now I'm going to paste it and now I have my own wealth of templates that I can pull from when I'm looking for different kinds of templates to find so pulling in something from the internet drag and dropped into your planner is another option that you have okay now if you wanted to download it okay so for example it's going to now download it for you in this so there's a couple things you can do with this screen so you can once this downloads it's right over here in okay so I'm going to pull this up and it's gonna ask me I it's gonna have an option here for open and good notes okay now what that's gonna do is it's kind of create a PDF version and it's gonna ask me to open and it'll automatically open a good notes window now this is where you have to be careful you want to kind of put where it's going to go it'll automatically default by whatever page you had last opening good notes in which case that was my sticker book I don't necessarily want it there I'm gonna put change location I'm gonna put it in your planner inserts because I have a folder for that and now I'm going to import it as a new document now when I do that it's gonna open as its own document let me show you what that looks like in the folder itself so in my planner inserts now it appears right here along with a lot of the other different kinds of templates that I have downloaded okay for example here's another one that I've downloaded in the past okay now if I want to use this by itself I can absolutely do that now realize that if you start writing on this it's going to kind of default with writing so um I don't want to do that I want to be able to use it over and over again so if you want to like use it as a single page by itself you can totally do that I was still duplicate it so that you have one that you work with and one without the writing that you can reference over and over again your next option is you can actually do a screenshot of this okay and if I screenshot it all of a sudden I am able to create an image okay and once I have screenshotted it now I have an image I can save it to my files or I could save it to my photos and if I save it to my photos now I can go into one of my planner pages okay and I can do the same thing again I'm gonna just add a page after a blank page and in this blank page I can now insert photo it's gonna be the last thing that I put in there and now have it as an image that I can also so you can drag and drop you can save it if you want to use it over and over again and to your camera roll that might get a really full really quick which is why I say that I also keep it by a sticker book and you can add it as a PDF into a document or a folder in your good notes so that's just a couple of the different ways okay now I want to show you if you are let's say an Etsy I was recently easier to date please part it all my tabs open that's kind of how my brain works okay so for example today I was looking for some fall stickers and I had purchased this so I'm gonna go into my purchases to show you how I pulled in one of these so once I download if I'm in at sea I have the option to download my file and once I download different shops have different ways this one has their download right here and for this particular one it's going to open it's gonna also give me a good notes zip file which I prefer cuz it's gonna be right in the format in which I'm gonna use it so when I click here it's gonna take me to to the Dropbox page okay so once I'm here once I'm here I have the ability to download now I can do a save to my Dropbox or I can do a direct download in this case I'm going into a direct download and it's gonna ask me if I wanted to unload it here I'm gonna click yes and what that means is that now it's under my um it's under my downloads in my good Notes app again I'm going to go in that case those were stickers so I'm gonna go there into the stickers I'm going to hit the plus sign I'm going to import and my I'm gonna go back to my iCloud and my downloads and it's gonna be right there and that means it'll pop up right there so that's another way that you can import something directly from let's say Etsy do a direct download and you can import it directly in there and again like I showed you you can do that through your Google Drive through your Dropbox etc the planner page that we just saw online that I found you can modify this to work this way you can make it smaller and do something on this side but that way now you're able to write directly on it you can already start creating your you know your two dues for the week or whatever it is that you needed to do but it's a quick easy way to import some images and some documents and PDFs into your good notes so hope you like the little tutorial if you have any questions
