This is several reasons why you can't navigate throw the planner using hyperlinks.

At first, reMarkable allows you clicking on hyperlinks only using finger, not a stylus. So please be sure you don't use your pen. Fingers are only one option.

The second reason might be associated with downloading issues.

• Please download planner again using Web Browser like Chrome or Safari;
• Try to click on links.

If links work properly, please just import file to device again:

• Connect your reMarkable to the computer with a USB Type-C cable.
• Access the reMarkable drive on your computer.
• Drag and place PDF files into the "Documents" directory on your reMarkable drive.

If links again work on PC, but they are unlickable on reMarkable, please try another trick:

• Download Planner and find it on computer disk (in most cases, the file is being placed to "Downloads" folder.
• Click on it using right mouse button. Choose "Compress".
• You'll see a new zip file that contains your planner.
• Import it to the device and open.
• Device will extract PDF from zip archive and open it.
• Hyperlinks must work properly.

Uploading a PDF template to your reMarkable tablet is similar to uploading a PNG template. However, keep in mind that PDFs are typically used as documents on reMarkable, not as templates. Still, if you wish to set a PDF as a template, follow these steps:

1. Connect reMarkable to Computer:

• Use a USB cable to connect your reMarkable to your computer.
• Your reMarkable should be recognized as an external storage device.

2. Transfer the PDF:

• Access the reMarkable's storage from your computer.
• Navigate to the templates directory.
• Transfer (or drag and drop) your PDF file into this directory.

3. Update Templates Configuration:

• In the templates directory, you'll find a templates.json file. This file configures all templates on the device.
• Backup the templates.json file before editing.
• Open templates.json in the editor.
• Add an entry for your new PDF template, like:

json

{

"name": "Your Template Name",

"filename": "your_template_file_name.pdf",

"iconCode": "\ue9xx",

"categories": ["Your Category"]

}

Replace

• Your Template Name with a name for your template.
• your_template_file_name.pdf with the name of the PDF you transferred.
• Y\ue9xx with an icon Unicode value. You can choose one from existing entries or use the example provided.
• YYour Category with the category you wish the template to appear under (e.g., "Custom", "Work", etc.).
• Save the file and safely eject the reMarkable device from your computer.

4. Restart Your reMarkable:

• Safely disconnect your reMarkable from your computer.
• Restart the device.
• After rebooting, your custom PDF template should be available when creating or editing a notebook./li>

Note: Always ensure you back up any important data before making changes to your reMarkable's system files. If you're unsure about any of the steps, consider seeking further guidance or assistance.

As of my last update the reMarkable 2 doesn't natively support syncing with external calendars like Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. It is primarily designed for note-taking, sketching, and reading documents.

However, if you're looking to integrate calendar functionality or synchronize with an external calendar, here are some potential workarounds:

1. Calendar Import form your calendar app
   • Generate or download a PDF version of your calendar from calendar app, what you use (if this feature is available).
   • Transfer this PDF to the reMarkable, which then lets you annotate it as needed.
   • Note: This method is static. It won't automatically update with changes made in the original calendar app.
2. PDF Calendar Template Import:
   • Choose and download Digital Calendar from this section.
   • Upload PDF to reMarkable storage as a document.
   • Use reMarkable handwriting to fill calendar.

This is two main methods, that help you to use calendars on reMarkable device.

You can do it using PC and reMarkable Cloud. Look at this video to figure out how to do it.

Also we provide text manual.

1. Ensure that your reMarkable 1 is connected to Wi-Fi and that you're logged in to your reMarkable account. Once connected, the device will automatically sync all your files, notes, and documents to the cloud.
2. Set Up Your reMarkable 2. When you set up your reMarkable 2 for the first time, log in with the same reMarkable account you used with your reMarkable 1.
3. Automatic Transfer: Once you're logged in on the reMarkable 2 and connected to Wi-Fi, the device will automatically sync all your files from the cloud. This includes everything you had on your reMarkable 1.
4. Check Your Files: After the sync is complete, check your reMarkable 2 to ensure all your documents, notes, and files have been transferred correctly.

Using the reMarkable cloud service ensures a seamless transition between devices. As long as you use the same account on both tablets, all your files will be available on any device you log into.
