How to create a custom index in your digital planner

When you start using extra templates and adding pages inside the blank sections of your digital planner, it’s natural to want faster access to those pages. That’s where a custom index becomes essential.

Keep in mind that any new pages you add will not have links pointing to them, as they were not part of the original design. 

That’s why creating a custom index on a blank section cover is the most effective way to restore fast, organized navigation tailored to how you actually use your planner.
