Universal Color Palettes
Hello, could you all add the ability to have all of our colors be universal across all pens, pencils, sticky notes, text, and etc.? It is annoying trying to use a color that I know I have added with the pen but did not feel like adding to the pencil, text, and highlighter separately. Could we also have the ability to create color pallet groups? Similar to the one in procreate (Picture below). Sometimes it is over whelming trying to find a color. And most of my colors mimic my real life pen colors. So being able to place colors…

GoodNotes AI is Unnecessary
The new features feel unnecessary and almost like bloatware. Other LLMs, such as DeepSeek, Gemini, etc are AI tools that other companies, universities, etc have licenses with. The AI credits are also useless - what is the incentive to use GoodNotes AI vs DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT4, etc, if you need to pay $9.99 more per month.
There isn't a way to turn off AI in GoodNotes either, which is pretty frustrating.
A huge motivation for people to switch from Notability to GoodNotes was the better UI and affordability. Paying $9.99/month for AI credits, for a feature I haven't seen many…18 votes -
Draw on different LAYERS!
Draw on different LAYERS!
Hi I really would like to be able to do a sketch on a FIRST LAYER, then do a sketch on TOP on a SECOND layer..so that later I can still CHANGE the 1st layer underneath ( move, erase, change color, change size, copy etc..) WITHOUT affecting the LAYER ON TOP!!
That would be a TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!
Thanks!!12 votes -
Drawing on text document
Following the recent update which added the text document, I think that users should be able to have the option of writing, drawing and highlighting on the page. For me my study method is typing out my lecture notes in OneNote and then exporting to Goodnotes to highlight and annotate. However, if I was able to do this with the text document feature, it would make things so much easier. Not just for me but other users also.

New update = hot garbage
- The tool bar being ON my document is blocking parts of my notebook, making my working area smaller.
- When in split screen mode half of the toolbar disappears(we used to be able to scroll over still) and will only reappear if i make the window bigger.
- Instead of functions being displayed on the toolbar i now have to press extra buttons to get to things like the bookmark, but why?
- Why is my pen automatically the lasso? In GoodNOTES you would think i would automatically need the pen no?
- Not everything needs to be a drop down menu! The double…

Enable the creation of equations directly with the keyboard, as in Word for example. Latex or Unicode equations
Please, could you add the option of being able to insert equations and characters directly with the keyboard. Just as it is done in Microsoft Word, it would help and speed up the process of inserting and writing equations directly with the keyboard of the iPad or computer

Highlighter Grouping
I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

text document
I love the idea of the text document, it creates a notetaking ability that is similar to one note. However, I would love for there to be more customization (font, spacing, drawing, etc) within this feature. ALSO I would love to be able to create class notebooks in which they are text document format but there is a separate menu within the notebook for each page. This was I can separate my notebooks by unit!

Feature request: auto-add date and folder name when creating new files
It would be really helpful if, when creating a new notebook or whiteboard, GoodNotes could automatically include the current date (e.g. “September 1, 2025”) and optionally the name of the folder (e.g. “NameFolder – September 1, 2025”) in the file name.
This would greatly improve file organization, especially for users who create many documents daily (like teachers) and want to keep everything tidy without having to rename files manually.5 votes -
Notebook Synchronization
Integrating a synchronization button within the three dots menu of a notebook would help synchronize it when working on it from a laptop or iPad, as there is a synchronization delay between the two devices. This would allow the user to avoid going back to the main menu to synchronize the notebook and then return to their work.

Floating views
When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.
It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.
And maybe…
