About Tab Link Indicators: #
When working with tabs in Planify Pro’s digital planner mode, each tab provides visual feedback that helps you understand whether the tab is properly linked to a page. This guide explains what the purple arrow and red X indicators mean and how to fix issues if needed.
🟣 What the Purple Arrow Means #
If a tab is successfully linked to a page, a purple arrow icon will appear beneath the tab settings.
You’ll see a label like this:
Link to page 5 | Notes
✅ This confirms that the tab link is working, and that the system found a matching page to jump to.
You can even click on this label, and it will take you directly to that page — a helpful way to test how your digital planner will behave once exported.
🔴 What the Red X Means #
If a tab is not linked properly, a red X icon will appear with an error message:
No page found with this tab: Notes
This means the system couldn’t find a valid destination for the tab link.
There are a few common reasons this might happen:
❌ 1. No Matching Page Name #
-
You used the “Detect Text” method, but there’s no page named exactly the same as your tab text.
-
Example: The tab is named “Notes”, but no page is currently named “Notes”.
❌ 2. Using “Detect Month” with a Non-Month Tab #
-
You selected the “Detect Month” option but the tab isn’t a valid month name in english (e.g., “Tasks” or “Goals”).
❌ 3. Fixed Page Link, But the Page Was Moved #
-
You linked the tab to a specific page number (e.g., page 20), but then added or deleted pages — so the destination page number is now wrong.
How to Fix Broken Tab Links #
-
Double-check that the page name matches the tab text exactly (case and spacing matter!).
-
Rename the tab or the destination page if needed.
-
Avoid using fixed page numbers if your planner structure may change.
-
Use “Detect Text” or “Detect Month” for more reliable linking.
Tip: Use the Purple Arrow to Preview Navigation #
Once a purple arrow appears, click the linked page name to instantly preview what happens when a user taps that tab in a digital planner app. This is an easy way to test and validate your setup before exporting.
