What are Index Pages?

Index pages are effective in organizing your pages in one central location for easy access, similar to a table of contents. It usually consists of one or more tables like the examples shown below.

Using the Meeting Minutes Index as an example, links to various meeting minutes can be organized using an index page. In this case, the meeting titles are hyperlinked to its corresponding meeting minutes, and the agenda links are hyperlinked to its corresponding meeting agenda. For more information on how to create these links, click here.

Index pages are especially useful if you want to further organize your pages within one section. For instance, the example below has a "Courses Index" and "Notes Index" within the same notebook section. The Course Overview pages are subpages nested under the "Courses Index" page, while notes are nested under the "Notes Index". By creating subpages under index pages, it helps keep your notebook sections more organized with a hierarchical structure. Click here for more information on subpages.

Updating an Index Page

Following the meeting minutes index example, you can add a new meeting minutes page by duplicating a fresh copy of a meeting minutes template (refer to this page to learn how). Add the blank template to the same notebook section and name it as you wish.

To add this new page to your index page, simply fill in its page title in the table and hyperlink it to the new page you've added (refer to this page to learn how to create hyperlinks).
