If you use Noteshelf for your digital planning, it’s quick and easy to change the cover of your Digital Planner.

Changing Covers in Noteshelf

In this post, I’ll show you two methods for changing covers:

1. Using Noteshelf’s in-built covers.
2. Changing a cover on page 1 of a purchased planner.

As a default, Noteshelf uses the Transparent option - this shows you the file name on an overlay, with page one of your document showing on the top.

Method 1: Using Noteshelf’s Built-in Covers

Noteshelf comes with a range of covers you can use to customise your planners or notebooks.

If you select your planner on the home page, you will see a ‘Cover’ option appear at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, just click and hold on the planner cover to get a fly-out menu giving you a ‘Change Cover’ option.

Tap on this and scroll through the coloured, patterned, transparent and textured covers, tap the one you want, and you’re done!

You also have the option to create a custom cover right in the app. Scroll to the very bottom of the in-built cover options to find ‘Custom’. Here, you can upload an image from your camera roll and choose one of Noteshelf’s overlay styles.

If you have covers you’ve purchased or designed yourself, or you want to replace a front page someone has supplied as part of their planner (i.e. they’ve made the cover page 1 of the planner), read the step-by-step below to quickly change your cover.

Method 2: Changing a Cover of a Purchased Planner

Changing Your Planner or Notebook Cover in Noteshelf

As promised, quick and easy!

Although most of us have just one planner a year, having multiple covers is particularly useful for notebooks and journals. It is an easy way to categorise and identify them at a glance.
