How to use Link Stickers in PencilTime

Link Stickers 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 Link Stickers

  • 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 Link Sticker

  1. Open the sticker menu and choose Link Sticker.
  2. Enter a short label, such as "Project Plan" or "Weekly Review".
  3. Choose a planner page or Note Page destination.
  4. Customize the label style so it is easy to recognize later.
  5. Save the sticker on the page where you want the shortcut to appear.

Link Stickers vs bookmarks

Use Link Stickers 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 Link Stickers back to that dashboard.

Example: project dashboard

Create one Note Page for a project. Add Link Stickers to the project kickoff date, current week, next milestone, and meeting notes. Then place a return Link Sticker on each of those pages so the project dashboard stays easy to reach.
