I need two GoodNotes documents from the same Category opened at the same time in Split View on iPad Pro.
Looking to buy an iPad Pro but I need to work with a movie script Pdf open on "A" side so I can mark-up the page and be able to write scene notes in another file on "B" side at the same time. The files exist in the same GoodNotes "Sub-Category". Is this possible yet?
We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).
With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.
How to open a new window:
You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:
- the app icon from the dock
- documents from the library
- folders from the library
- individual pages from the document thumbnail view
- tabs from the tab-bar
You can also use the buttons in the library action menu or from the tab-bar to open a new window.

I sooo need to have this feature in GN! I was told Notability has this option so I am going to check it out. But I would prefer to continue to use GN!

Yes, this would be nice.
A temporary workaround i use is to export as pdf to a different pdf viewer app (e.g. adobe reader) which i can then use side by side.
A split view within goodnotes would be nice though because sometimes i have to edit two things at the same time (not possible once exported).
