File Storage

It is your responsibility to find a safe place to keep a fresh and unaltered copy of your file for future use. There are many options available for local and cloud storage. I suggest downloading & importing to your storage app first so that you don’t forget to do it later. Then, export from storage to your note-taking app. Remember, you have 7 days & 7 taps to retrieve your file.

Note: While you will not be able to write on your planner or noteband in the native iOS app called Files, you can store your file with no issues.

how to

Import File

Pay attention to the browser in which your file is opened (and simultaneously downloaded). Your browser will determine how you import your file into your preferred storage and/or note-taking app. If you see the file on your screen, that means the download was successful.

Chrome

If your download link opens in Chrome, do this:

Safari

If your download link opens in Safari, do this:

Link limits

TAPS

You can tap/click on your paid download link up to 7 times — after 7 taps, you’ll get a message saying:
Sorry, you have reached your download limit for this file.

DAYS

Your download link will expire. You have 7 days to download your purchase — after 7 days, you’ll get a message saying:
Sorry, this download has expired.

Download Link Button Hand Touch Limit

Every time you touch it, the file downloads.

Each time you touch your purchased download link, it counts as 1 download. If you double tap the link, that counts as 2 downloads. You can touch, tap, or click that link up to 7 times.

You may not realize it, but when you see the planner or noteband file appear on your screen, that means the download was successful. Proceed to import the file into a storage app or import it directly into your note-taking app.

If you continue to tap the button and don’t take the next step to import your file, you will reach your download limit. If you are a newbie, you might need practice. No worries! Practice importing a sample catalog — it is free to download over and over again. After you learn how to import the sample catalog, download and import your paid file using the same technique.

Link Issues

We all get super excited when either an operating system or an app update contains hot new features. Though sometimes, those same promising updates contain bugs that break links. Prevent major upsets by proceeding with caution.

bug broken link issues

Before updating, scour relevant social media posts to see if anyone mentions broken link issues — specifically within your preferred note-taking app.

Practice patience. Give developers time to fix bugs before you hit that update button. One month is probably a decent wait time.

Before you take the plunge, back up your entire iPad. If you have problems after updating, undo the update by restoring your backup.
