Search tool in text documents
At the moment there is no search tool in text documents. I don’t understand this decision at all. Being able to search within a text document is absolutely crucial.

Display full heading text in the outline panel ( via wrapping or expandable view) & Add flexible viewing or display options.
- PDF Outline (Table of Contents) Usability
Problem:
In large PDFs, the outline panel truncates headings with “…” after a few words, making it difficult to quickly identify sections—especially in dense medical textbooks with similar headings.Suggestion:
• Display full heading text in the outline panel (either via wrapping or expandable view)
• Improve readability and navigation by allowing users to clearly distinguish between sections at a glance
2. View Modes & Reading ThemesProblem:
Reading long PDFs for extended periods can be visually tiring, and navigation options are limited compared to dedicated PDF readers.Suggestion:

Text box
Instead of copying and pasting the text piece by piece, I’d like to copy and paste the entire text and then split the text box by selecting it with the lasso tool, turning it into its individual box.

Sticky Note pop-up gets cut off near page margins on iPad
On iPad, when I place a Sticky Note near the page margin, the pop-up opens partially cut off/off-screen and it’s inconvenient to use. It would be helpful if the pop-up could extend beyond the page edges or automatically reposition, so it always stays fully visible.
I’m attaching a few screenshots:
(1) note placed near the margin (highlighted)
(2) pop-up being cut off/off-screen
(3) example with the note closer to the center where the pop-up is fully visible

Lasso Tool + Text Box + Shapes
For the lasso tool, be able to select shapes and handwriting because sometimes they are drawn together and when you want to move the whole thing, it only selects the shape (even though select shape + handwriting is on).
For the text box, have the grey box with the size, colour, etc. be somewhat transparent so that the underlying background can still somewhat be seen (helps when typing something that is said in the background).
For the shapes, have an option to not combine shapes when putting them on top of each other.

Smart highlight
I want to be able to click and hold the first word in a paragraph and be able to drag and highlight the whole paragraph in one stroke instead of highlighting each line/sendence individually.

[Eraser] Eraser types buttons instead of a dropdown
Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it
I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

Adjust a drawn line
When you want to adjust the lenght of a Drawn line, a large Blue dot appears. This makes it impossible to Drag the line to the exakt Position you want. A magnifying Glass or a very small dot would be much more helpful here.

Option for Static Text Editor Bar rather than Moving with Text Box
The text editor bar now moves with the text when you type with the new update. This is very distracting due to the constant shifting of the items on the bar while trying to type and blocks the other information on the page. PLEASE FIX URGENTLY.

Added detailed thickness adjustment
I’m currently using an Apple Pencil tip that’s optimized for 0.38, so I usually set it to that thickness. However, the available options are only 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit limiting. It would be great if we could set more precise values like 0.38 or even 0.28 for finer control!

Additional tape function is recommended
It's really annoying to erase the tape one by one
There must be a lot of people who use it exclusively for learning
Covering the entire tape It would be really convenient to put a function to cover the entire tape in the place of the tape tool, but it's a shame that there's no simple function like this. Whenever I turned the page, I covered it one by one, moved on, and bought it with money, but I think I can put in a simple function like this1 vote -
Better customisable tool bar
Please add the option to freely customise the tools inside of the Apple Pencil Pro menu. I also would love to see more colour options in this menu instead of the normal three.

Add more precise thickness adjustment options
My Apple Pencil tip works best with a thickness of 0.38, so I usually try to match that. However, the available options are limited to values like 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, which feels a bit restrictive.
It would be much better if we could set more precise values, such as 0.38 or 0.28, by allowing finer adjustments within ranges like 0.2–0.3 or 0.3–0.4.

Sin, cosin and more clean shapes
Please introduce the ability to draw more variation of shapes, others than Lines, polygons, circles, ellipses and parabolas. Me as an engineering student would love to draw different curvy lines. I would recommend to add like 3,4,5… order polynomials and what really should be introduced is an easy and efficient way to draw sin and cosin.

Improve textbox toolbar - remove floating toolbar
When using a text box the toolbar will drop down to the text box instead of staying by the stationary/fixed toolbar, which results in the toolbar covering the textbox, sometimes not showing up, and sometimes I must manually close the keyboard (I don’t have a separate keyboard for my IPad so I type on the screen) to access the toolbar options. In the next update please let the textbox tools stay at the stationary toolbar, and add the previous textbox menu (with only some choices such as delete and copy/cut/paste etc.) to end corner of the textbox. And when marking…

Apple Pencil Integration
Goodnotes should add a native option that lets the Apple Pencil Pro double tap switch between specific tools like pen and shape with no menu steps, no delays, and no forced use of Apple’s default actions. The app should give users a simple tool toggle setting inside the Apple Pencil menu, where you pick two tools and the double tap flips between them. The app should also expose these tool switches as actions in the Shortcuts app so users can build custom automations. Adding this feature would make Goodnotes feel more fluid during fast sessions and would use the Apple…
