Frequently Asked Questions

What is a OneNote Digital Planner?

A OneNote Digital Planner is a digital notebook file imported into OneNote that replicates a paper planner with hyperlinked tabs, calendars, goal pages, and to-do lists. The Key2Success Digital Planner is designed specifically for OneNote and works on Windows, iPad, and Android.

How do I import a digital planner into OneNote?

To import a digital planner into OneNote, download the planner file and open it with OneNote. The planner will appear as a new notebook in your OneNote app. From there you can navigate using the tab links and write directly on the pages with a stylus or keyboard.

Does the OneNote Digital Planner work on all devices?

Yes. The Key2Success OneNote Digital Planner syncs across Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android, and Mac through Microsoft OneDrive. You can start a note on your PC and pick up where you left off on your tablet. The hyperlinked navigation works on all platforms.

What are the best tips for using OneNote as a planner?

Use the Tab and Section structure to mirror your real-life categories. Pin your most-used notebooks to the sidebar, use the search bar to find notes quickly, and take advantage of tags to flag important items. For handwriting, pair OneNote with a stylus and enable the draw toolbar for the best experience.

Is the Key2Success Planner better in OneNote or GoodNotes?

Both work well, but OneNote has the advantage of deep cross-platform sync with Microsoft 365 and works on Windows, Android, and iOS equally. GoodNotes is iOS-only and has a more polished Apple Pencil experience. If you primarily use Windows or Android, OneNote is the better choice.
