Bookmarks and a linked contents page for a TPT workbook

Teachers project workbooks and students open them on tablets. A linked contents page, bookmarks and a back-to-contents button on every lesson make that easy. Here is how, plus TPT's file rules.

  • The contents page: each lesson line ("Lesson 3 - Adding Fractions") goes to that lesson's first page.
  • A "Contents" button in the same corner of every lesson page goes back to the contents page.
  • The answer key: a line for it on the contents page, so teachers find it in one tap.
  • Bookmarks: the same list as the contents page, shown in the outline or sidebar of PDF apps that support outlines.

How to add them

  1. Design the workbook as usual, with a contents page and a clear heading at the top of each lesson. If you want back-to-contents buttons, put the word "Contents" in the same spot on every lesson page.
  2. Export a PDF and open the clickable table of contents tool.
  3. Review the proposed links. Lesson lines are matched to the page with the same heading, even when the contents line says "Lesson 3 - Adding Fractions" and the heading says "Lesson 3: Adding Fractions".
  4. Export with bookmarks ticked. The file is re-checked on your device before you download it.

Packaging it for TPT

  • TPT takes one product file. For a student copy, a teacher copy and an answer key, TPT suggests putting them in one folder and uploading it as a ZIP, or using a TPT Bundle (TPT Help).
  • TPT asks for file and folder names with only alphanumeric characters, without special characters (TPT Help).
  • The file size limit is 4 GB; above that TPT suggests hosting the file elsewhere (TPT Help).

Drop all your files into the checker to see whether they need a ZIP:
