Disable long press menu as a palm rejection option
When I’m writing with my apple pencil I’m constantly accidentally activating the paste, zoom, comment, link long press menu with my fingers, I never use this menu, so I think it would be helpful to be able to disable it in the palm rejection settings menu.

Customizable Lasso Toolbar / Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Customizable Lasso Toolbar
When using the Lasso Tool, I would love the option to customize the toolbar that appears after selecting content. Specifically, it would be great if actions like Copy could be placed directly on the toolbar instead of being hidden behind the three-dot menu, allowing users to choose which tools appear there.
Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Currently, duplicated text can only be moved to the next page after it has been placed and selected again with the Lasso Tool. It would be much more efficient if duplicated text could be moved to the next page…

Hand writing feel weird
In the latest GoodNotes update, I feel like they added more stroke stabilization without giving an option to turn it off. When I write ‘(’ or ‘C’, it sometimes turns into ‘<’, which is really frustrating.
Also, why does the Undo button pop up every time I undo something? It keeps appearing over and over, and it honestly gets on my nerves. Why put it there at all? What’s the purpose? So pls remove them and make an option to turn stroke stabilization completely off. Thanks1 vote -
Change thickness of Writing After Already Written
It'd be very useful to be able to change the thickness of writing after I have already written something. I often forget to change the thickness when I write and when I go back to edit. Just expanding the written text is NOT the same and makes it very difficult. Often, I have to delete the text and rewrite it, which wastes a lot of time. I have a friend who complains about it too, so it's good to know it's not just me. But please... I need this.

Add a toggle for quick selection
Quick selection is clunky and gets in the way. The tool doesn’t do layers well so realistically tapping on an object never works for me. I remember this being an option in GoodNotes 5, where I can disable click to select different objects (universal selection?) and that really simplified things for me. I’m not sure why that option is taken away.

Video Note Playback
Allow users to record a section in their notes, such as drawing out a diagram and its process, and be able to video playback it. It would be super resourceful since you wouldn't only see the end product, but you'd be able to see the process of how you got there. It can reduce copying and pasting of notes to demonstrate the process.

Better Pencilsketching and Erasing workflow
I like to do STORYBOARD Thumbnail Sketches in Goodnotes!!
I really like the PENCIL tool!
But often times I sketch in one colour ( light blue or red)
and then CLEAN UP the drawing in dark grey or black..I would really like to:
- THEN ERASE THE LIGHT BLUE SKETCH underneath, only..
NOT my sketch above!!
Right now this is NOT possible, because we have an ERASE HIGHLIGHTER ONLY option , but the Highlighter is too BIG for sketching!!Soo It would be indeed very helpful to HAVE a "colour-pick eraser.."
That way we could sketch in ONE colour,…

Rubber in the main menu
If you use for example the new forms and switch to the rubber by tapping your Apple Pencil and then you open the Pencil Menu, the rubber is selected.
I would prefer the rubber as an independent tool like the powerpointer.3 votes -
LOCKING ITEMS IS A START, BUT... NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!
Recently, a "lock object" feature was introduced which is AMAZING, thank you. However, as others have noted, sometimes a whole page is an image (say a form that you're filling out, working with other little images or handwriting on top of it). We're all doing it, I'm sure you don't need a picture. It's great that I can lock the base layer, but still EVEN IF I've already sent it to the back, if I select it, it visually brings it front and now I can't see the objects on top. This defeats most of the benefit of having it…

UI Fixes on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’m writing to share some UX feedback based on frequent, everyday use of GoodNotes on iPad. All of the points below stem from a common issue: tool discoverability and predictability, especially for power users who rely on muscle memory.
- Inconsistent context menu ordering When selecting content, the context menu (Copy, Paste, Duplicate, etc.) changes order depending on context. For example, “Copy” sometimes appears near the top and other times much lower in the list. Because these are high-frequency actions, the inconsistency makes the interface feel unpredictable and slows down routine workflows.
A fixed order—or ideally user-configurable ordering—would…

Auto-deselect for lasso tool
Auto-switch back to previous tool after using the lasso.
For example, after I move an object, it automatically switches back to the pen tool.

Setup Logitech Creative Console for Goodnotes
Logitech Creative Console is a device that is programmable for navigating apps i.e. Adobe, Photoshop, Zoom etc. However there isn't an available template for Goodnotes, it can be programmed by each individual user, however it would be fantastic if one were available for all Goodnotes users.

Non-Deletable Handwriting
I need a feature in GoodNotes that allows certain handwritten text to remain undeletable, even when I use the page delete function.
When I solve the same workbook multiple times, I mark whether I got each question right or wrong. The problem is that when I use the page delete function to clear my messy work and keep only those markings, the previous right/wrong marks get deleted as well, which is inconvenient.

Add a Pin/Lock Option for the GoodNotes AI Floating Sidebar
Add a Pin/Lock Option for the GoodNotes AI Floating Sidebar
When the GoodNotes AI sidebar is set as a floating bar, I’d like to request an option to pin or lock it in place.
Currently, if I tap anywhere outside the chat—such as the page itself or another UI element—the AI chat UI disappears. This makes it difficult to read the answer I just received, or to quickly check the page while formulating a follow-up question. Often, the sidebar disappears before I can continue, which makes the purpose of the floating bar unclear.
It would be very helpful to have:

Please bring back search field for audio transcripts!!!!
Please bring back the ability to search audio transcripts. That saves me so much time scrolling when I can search for a phrase or word in the transcripts. It disappeared after one of the new updates across all of my devices (iPhone, Mac, iPad)

Passive and Selective Voice Recording
Add the option to have an active recording going on but not actively saving every bit of the recording. Only have the recording save when I click a specific button, and it will "catch" the last 1 minute of audio and record that on the page I'm currently on.
I often find myself in lectures wanting to catch the last 30 seconds to 1 minute of what my professor said, but it's too late; they've moved on, and I can't start recording now because I missed it in the first place.I got the idea from Steam gaming actually. Where…

Adding new node or handle to existing shape
When drawing shapes goodnotes creates nodes or handles to allow you to adjust the shape, however you cannot then add a new node/handle to the shape.
For example, if I draw a triangle, and then want to change it to a 4 sided shape, I have to delete the shape and redraw.
When drawing complex shapes, this is time consuming and frustrating.
Please can you add the option to add new nodes (or handles) to existing shapes?1 vote -
more shapes or different shapes
In the new goodnotes 7 update the shape tool does not do sharp right angels and the draw and hold feature does not give perfect right angels so they should add this as a feature where your able to choose on a "natural shape" or a "precise shape" and when you try and draw a circle it does not give you an option on if you want it at an angle anymore this also goes for a trapezoid if you want a trapezoid and you use the shape tool or the hold feature it gives you a rectangle. So in…

Edit font size for written and drawn things
We should be able to edit the size of written text and drawn shapes that have already been created. I don’t mean like how it is now. That’s great too. But, for example, after adding a shape, you can adjust the width. We would like that for everything drawn, that’d be great. I have adhd and i like to make things extra pop by making some words thicker than the rest and i used the change in text size for organization. Well… I often get locked in and forget to change the pen size. Ultimately forcing me to erase and…
