[Toolbar] Make the New Floating Toolbar Optional / Revert to Old Toolbar
The latest update introduced an obnoxious and distracting floating toolbar below the primary toolbar, taking up more space and reducing the amount of room there is to actually write on the document. Further, it’s shorter in width, so you have to scroll more to find different highlighter colors, pen options, etc.
The new toolbar offers LESS functionality than before and I didn’t see anyone complaining or asking for it to be overhauled for everyone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please introduce a toggle where you can choose whether you want this new toolbar or the old one, as…

Page Cropping / Trimming
I would like to have a feature that allows users to crop or trim pages to remove unnecessary areas and view documents in a cleaner format within GoodNotes.
Currently, only objects such as images can be cropped, but there is no way to crop the actual page area itself. Adding a page cropping feature would greatly improve usability, especially when working with scanned documents or PDFs that include unnecessary margins.
Page Cropping Using the Lasso Tool
(Apply to: Current Page / Selected Pages / All Pages)Crop current page only
Keep only the area selected with the Lasso Tool and…

Rectangle professional looking highlighter. Like in microsoft word, adobe acrobat reader or apple books.

[Eraser] Move the Eraser to the ‘Writing Tools’
Currently, the Eraser Function and Writing Tools are two different tabs. This disrupts the continuous flow of writing, as users have to frequently toggle between two different tabs. This issue is especially vital as the tabs are at a higher eye level, thus users have to take some moments to locate, and select the eraser function when needed, which also causes users to mistakenly tap onto another mini tab.
This brings about inconvenience to users, especially since the flow of thoughts is disrupted.
Thus, I would propose shifting the position of the eraser function into the writing tools tab. This…

[New tool] Post-it Tabs
One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.
Whilst good notes…

Image Borders, Shadows
Just a simple toggle to add/remove a border from an image. A collage of screen caps and images looks very disorganized without defined edges. This is the single most important request, please implement as soon as possible thank you.

The worst update ever
There are so many things that became inconvenient after this update. Here are just a few examples.
- The line spacing I saved as a default isn't applied when typing in a new text box.
- The toolbox sticks right next to the text box and blocks the background.
- Changing fonts or line spacing got much complicated.(especially line spacing, which now takes several steps.)
- After typing in a text box, it automatically deselects and switches to the lasso tool.
These are only some of the issues. The previous UI was more efficient and comfortable to work with. Please fix the bugs and…

Option to disable lasso tool alignment guides
Please consider an option in the settings to disable the newly added alignment guides when using the lasso tool. For some this is a distracting feature and should be optional.

Add a Lined Background to Imported PDF Slides
One feature I would really love to see in Goodnotes is the ability to add a notebook-style background around imported and resized PDF slides, such as lined, grid, or dotted paper.
This feature is already available in Notability, and it is one of the reasons why many students prefer using Notability for lecture notes.
A common workflow for students is to first use another app or website to resize their lecture slides, then import the resized PDF into Notability. Notability allows them to place the slides on a notebook-style page with a lined background surrounding the slides, creating a clean…

Revert to old UI!!!
Please go back to the most previous UI. This new UI though more simplified, is more tedious to work with. I like the implementation of when you copy a photo, it directly sizes it from a corner instead of proportionally sizing everything. However, once you click off that image, you have to go back to the pen which wastes time during fast lectures.
The new text box interaction is also tedious since you have to hold down and click ‘start editing’ instead of just clicking a button to text on the whole page. And if you do just a small…45 votes -
[Lock Objects] Complete Lock Support for All Objects (Including Handwriting) + Grouping for Lock
Thank you for making it available to lock images, sticky notes
shapes, and textboxes. Please make it available for handwritten notes, elements (including stickers), arrows, connectors cannot be locked. Furthermore, it would be awesome if you could also group and lock images, sticky notes, shapes, textbooks, handwritten notes, elements, and connectors together.14 votes -
Built-in Calculator / Scientific Calculator
I suggest adding a calculator feature to GoodNotes 6 to enhance its functionality and streamline user workflows. This feature could allow users to perform calculations directly within their notes, making it especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone working with numerical data. For example, a floating calculator tool could be integrated into the app, enabling users to perform quick calculations without leaving the workspace. Alternatively, a feature that allows handwritten equations to be converted into calculated results would align well with GoodNotes’ emphasis on handwriting recognition and natural note-taking. This addition would not only save time but also make GoodNotes…

tape
I would REALLY APPRECIATE being able to "turn on" all the tape in my documents at once, or "turn off" all my tapes at once in a page or even the whole document. Not necessarily delete them just be able to toggel them on and off when i need to see my full notes again. Thanks!

Better autoscroll control on zoom writing
When i write using the zoom function, despite I have the autoscroll or autojump desactivated it still moves the page. I'd like to be able to zoom while seeing the whole page or even previos pages. I don't want to see what i am writing double, i want to write while seeing other areas or reading other pages of my notebook. I am attaching a video to see what I am refering when i say it autojumps despite having this function off

Table Function
It would be really cool if we had a button again in the Windows version that you could click on and, like with the keyboard, click somewhere and a table would appear. After that, you can write in it, and if you need more lines/columns, you can press a small plus sign.However, there could also be a small window that appears beforehand when you click on the table icon, where you can select which layout you want.
