How to use Page Links in PencilTime
Page Links turn handwritten planner pages into a connected planning system. Use them when one page should jump to another page, note, project dashboard, or recurring reference.
Good uses for Page Links
- Link a daily plan to a project Note Page.
- Create a dashboard note that points to important weeks, months, or projects.
- Connect a meeting note back to the day it happened.
- Keep repeated routines, review pages, or class pages one tap away.
Create a Page Link
- Open the sticker menu and choose Links > Page Link.
- Enter a short label, such as "Project Plan" or "Weekly Review".
- Choose a planner page or Note Page destination.
- Customize the label style so it is easy to recognize later.
- Save the sticker on the page where you want the shortcut to appear.
Page Links vs other Links
Page Links open another planner or Note page inside PencilTime. Version 1.11 also provides website, email, phone, message, and File Links for resources outside the planner. Read the Links and files guide for those destinations, Chip and Card display, and copied-file behavior.
Page Links vs bookmarks
Use Page Links when the shortcut belongs in the context of a page. Use bookmarks when you want a global list of pages you visit often. Many workflows use both: a project dashboard might be bookmarked, while individual daily pages contain Page Links back to that dashboard.
Example: project dashboard
Create one Note Page for a project. Add Page Links to the project kickoff date, current week, next milestone, and meeting notes. Then place a return Page Link on each of those pages so the project dashboard stays easy to reach.
