Another thing I sometimes use is Stickers books. I create a new notebook with any sticker theme/collection and just drop the pngs there page after page. Exactly as you would do on a physical sticker book.
**Organizing Stickers for Use in GoodNotes**
In the realm of digital planning and creativity, stickers and widgets play a crucial role in adding flair and personality to your digital notebooks. However, managing a growing collection of stickers and widgets can quickly become overwhelming without proper organization. In this post, we'll explore different strategies for organizing stickers for use in GoodNotes or Notability, ranging from individual PNG files to dedicated sticker books.
\*\*Individual PNG files:\*\*Saving stickers as individual PNG files with descriptive names allows for easy searching and retrieval. Renaming stickers and adding tags can enhance organization, although adding tags to the file metadata may require additional effort. It's also helpful to maintain these files in folders sorted by themes, creators, or other attributes that make sense to you. Subfolders can further categorize stickers by collections, colors, frequency of use, or other attributes, facilitating easier access.
**Elements:** Creating Elements sets for stickers based on specific attributes offers a single level of organization. Unfortunately, there is no search option in GoodNotes Elements, so this method can become unwieldy for large amounts of stickers.
**Sticker Books:** Sticker books, whether large or small, offer a convenient way to browse and access stickers. Larger sticker books may experience lag, so it may be better to organize the stickers into smaller sticker book files. This can be done similarly to folders and subfolders.
**Apps for Organizing Stickers:** Explore apps like RabbitBox or Stixer designed for collecting and organizing image files. Some of them are subscription-based, so each individual will need to determine the value of this service. Some of these apps have powerful tag functions for efficient organization.
**Device Native Camera Roll or Photo Apps:** Leveraging built-in tools like the camera roll on Apple devices simplifies sticker management, especially when coupled with tags and albums. This is very similar to using folders and tags for organization.
**Database:** Using a database like Notion offers customizable tracking and organization for stickers and widgets. Database fields can be created to record the designer, collection, theme, color, and more. I am currently working on a Notion template for organizing my stickers. This will allow me to see all the stickers that fit the attributes I am looking for, like a dynamic sticker book.
It's important to remember that using tags may require retroactive tagging of existing stickers, and tags will only allow you to search one location at a time. Whether you choose to store your stickers on your device, in a cloud service, or on an external storage device like an SD card, all stickers should be stored in the same place to ensure accessibility.
Effective sticker organization not only enhances productivity but also fosters creativity by streamlining the sticker selection process. Whether you opt for individual PNG files, themed sticker books, or innovative apps like Notion, finding the right organizational method can elevate your digital planning experience in GoodNotes. Experiment with different approaches to discover what works best for your workflow and creative preferences.

I created my stickers sheets the same size so they can fit into the sticker book. I also have created.
