hello, we are bloody beginners and have bought senior interrail passes. We are going to travel in Scandinavia on may 1st.  I activated our passes in the Rail planner app.

After that I booked seats via SR, the Swedish Railway, from Hamburg to Stockholm, and from Stockholm to Göteborg. When ordering I had to fill in the interrail pass numbers.

I got tickets for that with QR codes. Are these tickets enough, or are they just reservations?

Do I have to add the journeys also in the rail planner app and get other tickets?

I know these are propably stupid questions but would be grateful for help!

The pass is your ticket. It's however not a good idea to activate it in advance. Activation is not needed to make reservations.

It looks like you booked reservations through SJ; you'll need these in addition to your pass.

You always need to add the trains you take in the rail planner app and add them to your pass before you board. This generates the ticket for the day.
