10. In your digital planner class is it only for Goodnotes?
No, you can use any digital note taking / digital planning application that allows you to import a clickable PDF. My class is labeled with Goodnotes because thats the application that I use so its easier for my to show you what to do, but the concept of importing to another application should be the same.
11. What do you need to create a digital planner?
To create digital planners you need a presentation application like Keynote that has shape and line tools, table making tools and the ability to link those shapes, lines or tables to other shapes, lines and tables.
After you create your digital planner, you will then export it as a PDF file and that PDF file with the links to the shapes, line and tables is what a note taking / digital planner application like Goodnotes will use as your digital planner.
