Grading Instructor-uploading
I think it is critical that an instructor upload version be provided for grading important paper exams. The instructor would upload a PDF with batches of exams. Based upon a template, the batched PDF would be split into submissions. Then each submission would be sorted to the appropriate students and go through the grading process.
This would be useful in cases where students don't have easy access to iPads/styli. Or, where teachers are giving paper exams and don't want students to handle the submission process.

Drop down arrow for color palette
Instead of having the colors set up like Option 1, where we have to scroll left and right to find our colors, can y’all make a feature like the example in Option 2? In this version, the color we’re using would be selected, and if we want to see all our colors or change the color, all we have to do is click the drop-down arrow and the rest of our colors will appear. That way, we can have as many color options as we want without having to scroll left and right to find them.

margins
Please make the templates editable. For example I like a margin but I find it's too wide. I'd like the templates to be editable such that you can have a smaller or larger margin as needed.

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

Number notebooks automatically/ Index
The option to add page numbers to the notebook in a selected font/size and to also add an Index/ Table of Contents that shows up within the document. Similar to how it is in word or other word processing Programs, just a bit simplified.
Basically the option to add the "outline" as a "table of contents page" within the note book and to show numbers on each page correspondingly.

Import PDF as a study set
There are multiple ways of doing this:
(A) Chop each page in half: top half becomes the ‘image’ for question, bottom half becomes the ‘image’ for answer.
(B) Two pages per flashcard, one for question and one for answer (maybe do this if pdf is in landscape mode).This would be immensely helpful as currently you can only import text, which is an issue if your flash cards have diagrams or render LaTeX.

Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Currently, there is a feature that allows regular documents to be converted into whiteboard documents, but there is no option to convert them into text documents. I believe it would be very helpful to add a feature that allows regular documents to be converted directly into text documents.
For example, when working with scanned documents, some characters are not always correctly recognized by OCR. In such cases, it becomes difficult to search the content or effectively use AI features. If users could convert a regular document into a…

Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
When converting a regular document to a whiteboard, the page limit is currently restricted to about 20–25 pages. However, these days many lecture materials exceed 100 pages, and in some cases—especially for law-related subjects—they can easily go beyond 300 pages. I strongly suggest increasing this page limit.
In addition, when a document is converted to a whiteboard, the content is currently transferred only as images. It would be much more useful if text recognition (OCR) were also applied during the conversion process, allowing the text to be selectable and…

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!

Screen record
It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
• Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
• Rewatch how notes were created step by step
• Create educational content or revision videos directly within the appSuch a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.
I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuously…

Create a workspace alongside the current document
Have you used Liquid Text?
Thay have an amazing feature where it is possible to pull extracts out of documents and display them on a workspace then link the ideas together with drawn lines or links.
Something like this, not the same obviously that worked with extracts, links and tags would be amazing.
Thanks for your hard work.

flashcard
Hi, as a language learner, i love the flashcard feature so much! But can you make some features so we can instantly dump our numerous list of vocabulary into one file? Maybe by a simple coding, where we can just copy-paste our list of vocabulary into flashcard. Cause now, it is taking so much time to navigate and make it one by one.
Thank you so much!

Add backspace button in text box
It would be very helpful if there was a dedicated backspace button (similar to the enter button to start a new line) for the text box. When I’m writing and converting to text it would be easier to be able to backspace and delete certain letters or words or remove a line or indent I made by having a backspace button like when typing on a traditional keyboard.

Better text box useage
I love using scribble to have my notes written in a different font but I wish we could have as much flexibility with the lasso tool as we do with normal hand writing. For example sometimes to I do my math homework on there and I want to move some of the variables down or move only one word from the sentence but when using the lasso tool with text box the whole text box moves even when I only circle one part.

search option to select location
search option for selecting location! when moving a file-doc, I often will not know the location of the file or folder to which i want to move. it is too time-consuming to search by clicking on folders to find the location I’m looking for. it would be great if there was a search window within the select, a location window!

Suggestion about adding an widget option in side bar.
I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.1 vote -
Add OCR and Live Text Features to GoodNotes
I often import lecture PDF files into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. In many cases, professors or instructors provide materials as text-based PDFs. However, there are also many situations where the files have been converted from PDF → image → PDF, making the text unselectable and turning the entire document into an image.
When a document is image-based, tasks such as translating the content, searching for unfamiliar terms on the web, or asking GoodNotes AI questions about specific text become difficult. Currently, GoodNotes AI’s OCR capabilities for image-based documents are quite limited, and it sometimes misrecognizes text or…
