Layer
Allow users to put comments on different layers. It would be helpful if these could be turned on/ off, or have their transparency % adjusted like in the Photoshop Touch application. Selecting annotations on one layer only or locking others would be useful as well.

Layering feature is gonna be a major pro for users who are considering which note taking app to get, please consider it and make it happen pls pls

Judah Girl commented
Yes please do this, very needed. Otherwise sticky notes are useless, because oYOU cannot move to see what is underneath. Why even use a sticker then

Silken Heynderickx commented
Sometimes it would be nice to replace things in a certain layer (for example a layer that you can name, extra explanation), so that other things in other layers don't move with it

I want to make use of the inserted image and draw line drawings based on it.
Maybe it's called layers. -

Please make it this happen. Very annoying to edit image, but at the end image is moving.

Would be nice to be able to lock layers. Too many times i wind up accidentally moving stickers, backgrounds, or completely erasing images.

GoodNotes has become great software for students and digital planners alike. Many people crossing over into both those categories.
We draw, we add images, stickers, text and handwriting. We can let the lasso choose ‘image only’, we can send items to the front/back, but what we can’t do is lock layers and it’s so frustrating.
Often times I have a background image that I want to stay locked while I move/edit/work on something in the middle layer and/or foreground (picture a calendar made of an image AND text). The current tools make this impossible to do and it ends up taking a really long time to do something that should take seconds.
I know people in the GN community have been asking for lockable layers for years and many are suggesting to go elsewhere. I’d love an answer as to whether this is possible and something GoodNotes would actually consider/put into place with GoodNotes 6.

Please add a "lock" features to lock something you don't want to erase or move. Another "lock" to lock the page so that it won't zoom.

My #1 frustration….when I’m trying to annotate an image and GoodNotes selects the image. If I want to move the image, I will use the lasso tool.

It is so frustrating to have stickers, drawn objects, pictured, etc. move around. A lock function seems like a basic necessity for any writing or typing app that allows you to add objects.
-
Kelsi Leann Tunstall commented
I know that everyone was really frustrated when goodnotes came out with an handwriting crap instead of the locking feature!
-
Lauren Mitchell commented
This is an urgently needed feature. Our notes and planners have become very useful with the addition of so many elements, photos, stickers, and text boxes. I realize we can turn items on and off in the lasso tool as we move things around, but it's just not enough. It seems like such a basic feature, I'm not sure why we don't have it already.

We need layers similar to drawing apps in Goodnotes. It doesn't have to be crazy, but 2-3 will be good for most users.
-
Michal Farkas commented
Or even just the classic "move back"/ "move to back"/ "move to front"/... feature that they have on Word! Anything so that you don't have to recopy and paste anything you want to be on the top layer :/ gets very tedious when trying to write and use pictures at the same time
-
Michal Farkas commented
VERY important! I always accidentally move pictures as I'm writing over them
-
Anderson Rodrigues dos Santos commented
Include a function that when writing with a text box you can place a new layer on top and use the pen to write in the spaces without selecting the text.
