Bookmarks have been buried
Bring the bookmark icon back so it’s visible all of the time, and so that you can filter all pages and only see those that are bookmarked. I use a PDF planner on Goodnotes and visible bookmarks and filtering by bookmarks are critical to navigating a PDF planner with hundreds of pages.

Shape tool Stroke width Option
I truly appreciate the new features introduced with the recent update—they’ve been very helpful. I do, however, have a small request that I believe would make the workflow even smoother.
Currently, whenever I switch from writing to drawing shapes or lines, I need to manually adjust the stroke width each time to match my pen. This process takes a little extra time and interrupts the natural flow of writing and drawing.
It would be wonderful if there were an option to quickly set the shape or line stroke width to match the current pen width—or to have a few ready-made…

Laser pointer update
I am an engineering grad I do all my notes in Goodnotes the only feature that I need the most is the laser writing gets erased within a second , it would be great if I write as much as I want on the screen with laser and on one “clear all” option all laser writings gets cleared . I tend to do most of my rough calculations besides my notes and it becomes hard to erase my rough with main writing as lines get overlapped , it would be convenient for me to scribble over my notes with laser…

Add the ability of extending margins in pdf file/ presentation to add notes
Allow extending the margin (left and right of pdf file or presentation, to add notes. This would be very useful for students that follow the professor’s presentation during lectures. Some other apps do it like notes+. Their implementation is pretty good.

Toggle to automatically send highlighter layer back
I like having my highlighter behind my writing as it’s easier to read. It would be helpful to have a toggle option for the highlighter to automatically go behind text after it is drawn. It’s a bit of a hassle to keep selecting just the highlighter stroke and go through the settings to manually send it to the back.

Smart PDF Import: Add Margins with Grid Background for Writing
When importing PDFs:
✔ Allow users to choose “Add expandable writing margin”
➡️ Let us set how many cm to add on each side (top, bottom, left, right)
➡️ Let us select a background style (grid, lined, blank) for the expanded area
➡️ Optionally, allow us to choose whether the background layer appears above or below the imported PDF (this could be added later—no rush!)🔥 This would create a perfect page layout with the PDF on one side and structured space to take notes, do calculations, or annotate clearly.
No more floating sticky notes or struggling with extra pages—just…

Zoom percentage
Add Zoom Percentage, please. The zoom affects the way we write and therefore if we'd like to keep our notes consistent in size and neatness. Adding a zoom percentage display would allow us to know what zoom size we prefer and always set our zoom percentages to that number.

IOS18 smart script
Please integrate the ios18 new notes app feature. The smart script will make me it faster and easier to write. It edits the users handwriting allowing to make it easier to read or add more and other things. Smart Script also maintains the look and feel of a user’s personal handwriting, automatically refining it in real time to be smoother, straighter, and more legible. Please I beg for this feature!!!

AirPlay Blurry Text and Images
This seems like a bug and it makes Goodnotes almost unusable for me. On my iPad I can see all the text and images fine, but on AirPlay, my students see a very pixelated version of all text and images.
This happens both on whiteboards and pages, which leads me to think that it has something to do with a parameter that you might have set for the render resolution. The render resolution is too low for the current zoom level.
This bug is making it really difficult to teach, could we potentially downgrade to an older version?

Add Inline Drawing Support to Text Doc for Seamless Visual Note-Taking
ext Doc is great for writing thanks to its clean block structure and keyboard-friendly design. However, one thing that would make it even more powerful is the ability to add inline drawing areas—similar to how Apple Notes lets you sketch directly within your notes and resize the drawing space as needed.
When I'm taking notes during meetings or documenting ideas, I often need to quickly sketch diagrams or jot down visual thoughts alongside the text. Right now, I have to choose between using a traditional notebook that supports drawing but isn’t ideal for typing, or using Text Doc and keeping…4 votes -
Tape Feature Expansion
I suggest an addition to the tape feature that would allow the user to cover/uncover all of the tape on the current page. This would be extremely useful in slides such as anatomical diagrams, which have many possible areas to cover and study. This feature would immediately remove the repetitiveness of having to go back through and individually re-cover names.

Laser
Since the recent update, the laser got to make layers by each stroke. But it’s very inconvenient when I am writing letters, as the previous stroke shows up darker and the handwriting gets so messy.. please change it back so it can be used with one layer.

Partial Synchronizing
I've been using more and more files on Goodnote and I realized it would be great if we can select which files/folder to sync to other devices while keeping the rest locally. For 1, this saved much space in icloud, especially for those who has many files in Goodnote. For 2, people can have more freedom in synchronizing while having access to necessarily files in Goodnote on other devices.

Flip/Mirror
It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

Reporting issues regarding the update of floating toolbar
Dear GoodNotes Team,
As someone who has been using GoodNotes for nearly three years, I was quite surprised by the recent update. Since writing is very important to me and GoodNotes has been one of the best tools I have ever had, I wanted to share some feedback right away:
…1. Thank you for finally adding the floating toolbar option. However, the current design has some issues. For example, since the toolbar now sits lower on the page, it reduces the available workspace and sometimes overlaps with the text, which is not ideal. 2. The new toolbar design limits access4 votes
