Rotating items using lasso
I found this feature very helpful with my creative designs in previous versions of the app. I have long loved Goodnotes and am disappointed that I can no longer easily use this feature. While using lasso you can see that I can adjusted the size but there is no longer the option to rotate the selected shape.
2 votes[Rotate Shapes using Lasso is now live 🎉]

BRING BACK THE AUTOMATIC FULL-PAGE TEXT BOX
Ever since they have removed the automatic full-page text box, it has ruined note taking as a whole. It is such an inconvenience to use text boxes, as it is harder to manage and just overall too much to use. I would like to bring back the automatic full-page text boxes as it made note taking more convenient, efficient, and easier to manage.
1 voteHello,
Full-page typing is available for text boxes.
To enable full-page typing within a notebook, select the Text Tool > long-press on the page > choose Start Typing.
If you’d prefer a dedicated full-typing experience, you can also try Text Documents, a file type designed specifically for typing.
Let us know if this works for you!

Allow family sharing again please
Since GoodNotes 6, family sharing via the Apple iOS app store is unfortunately no longer supported by GoodNotes.
This is really frustrating because it means that we can no longer use the app as a family. That's why I would like to suggest that the developers reconsider supporting family sharing in GoodNotes 6 as well.

Outline improvement
Currently, the whole outline cannot be seen if it is too long. The whole title. should be seen in the outline tab.
Collapsible subtopics should also be added.
There should be a quicker way to input an outline like a shortcut.
There should be an option to see comments in the outline tab.
8 votesHello, thanks for the feedback!
We’ve recently added improvements to outlines, and these features are already live:
— Collapsible subtopics
Starting with version 7.0.22, you can create multi-level outlines with collapsible sections. Outline items can be nested by dragging them onto parent items, allowing you to collapse and expand sections to reduce clutter and navigate large documents more easily. This works for both handwritten notebooks and imported PDFs.
— Outline creation
There are several ways to create an outline:
- Import it with a PDF
- Generate it automatically using AI
- Create it manually
When creating outlines manually, there are multiple shortcuts to add a page to the outline:
- From Page settings (More menu icon in the top-right corner)
- From the Sidebar → Outlines (Add Page to Outline)
- From the Sidebar → Pages overview (Add Page to Outline)
For more details about Outlines please read here.

Allow deleting outlines on shapes
With the new update my shapes have to be equipped with an outline. I preferred using the transparent filler colour as a decent highlight for my study notes, which I got by either erasing the outline with a stroke eraser or by pressing "back" once. Please bring back this feature or add the option of "no-outline" when creating a shape.
I'd also love to have my colour presets in the auto-shape menu. It isn't useful to me, when it doesn't align with the colour scheme I use.
1 voteHello,
If you’d like to remove the outline from shapes, you can adjust this in the Stroke settings by selecting the object. There are 4 available styles: None, Solid, Dashed, and Dotted. For your case, select None.
To set default colors and stroke settings for shapes, you can adjust these options in the floating menu of the Shapes tool.
Let us know if this works for you!

Add Tape Tool
Tape…Notability just published an update to allow something like white out tape that can be tapped to make transparent and then tapped again to ”reapply.”
Teaching implications of such a tool are obvious and awesome.
Please give us such a feature.

Writing in a full page (as in a word document)
Hello! I love using goodnotes. I have an iPad on which I use goodnotes and I love it. I also use it on my Windows computer, and its not as good as on the iPad. I wish we could have access to the Typing tool as on the ipad, where we can write as in a word document. And also, I wish we could justify the text!
Thank you <3
2 votesHello, this is already available in the Goodnotes app.
You can enable full-page typing in 2 ways:
- Create a Text Document — this is a new file type we launched in September, designed specifically for a full-typing experience.
- Enable full-page typing within a notebook — select the Text Tool > long-press on the page > choose Start Typing.

Sticky Notes
We would really like to make a sticky notes that moves with the text in it . The sticky note available now only lets you to write over it, but when you want to move it , only the sticker will move, or you should select all the text which may take the text under it also. So it is better to have like a really sticky note
90 votesHello,
Sticky Notes are already available in Goodnotes as part of the September 2025 update. They’re currently offered as a separate tool, allowing you to:
— Choose any color from presets or your custom palette
— Add your name as a signature to a sticky note, useful when leaving comments and collaborating with others, as each contributor’s name will be visible
— Add text to the sticky note that moves together with it if you reposition the note
— Add and style text freely to suit your needs
— Include links inside sticky notes
— Collapse sticky notes to use them as comments
Try it out and share your feedback with us!

[Eraser] Move eraser to the toolbar
Moving the eraser types (Stroke Eraser, Standard Eraser and Precision Eraser) to the toolbar on the right, where the eraser size already is, would make switching easier. Currently you have to always go to the eraser menu which gets stressful.
Thank you!17 votesHello! With the recent update, the eraser has been moved from the Writing menu to the main toolbar.

Elastic vector based lines path with arrows
It would be amazing to have vector based lines that are elastic, that could be editable and moved around after sketching the initial path. For the ends and mid points of the lines should allow user to pick arrow heads, circles, squares, etc. As an end type option the ability to connect to an object or photo, so if you move that object the line stretches to the new location yet the line remains edible.
The line corners should have adjustable arcs or curves that could be tweaked.
I use this app to draw diagrams of audio visual setups, so…

Implement spam filtering on ideas, so everyone trying to help doesn’t get spammed by brainless idiots
People with Tiny TINY genitalia and even smaller brains, seem to think that spamming this idea forum will somehow inspire the annoyed users jump up and buy the useless crap they’re selling.
There should be spam filtering implemented along with human checks.
They’re even getting AI to make the posts now so they appear to vaguely contribute while still link spamming.
It would almost be impressive if the bar was not set soooo low for their sad pathetic bovine copulating existence.

Move the Undo and Redo buttons in Goodnotes 6 back to the top right corner as they were in Goodnotes 5.
The "UNDO" and "REDO" buttons in Goodnotes 6 have moved from the top right corner in Goodnotes 5 to the top left corner. When using UNDO, it's often necessary to see up to which step I've undone. But after moving to the top left, not only does my right hand have to move a considerable distance, but my entire hand covers the screen, making it hard to see where I've undone to. I hope the UI design can be changed back to the top right corner.

lock documents
It would be cool to have the option, to lock a document, so that it only can be accessed by keyword/face_id/fingerprint. This would be nice for Bankstatements, private diaries or just as a way from keeping other ppl from snooping around in ur documents
43 votesThanks for sharing the idea!
The option to lock your documents with a password or Touch ID is already available in the app. Make sure you’ve updated to the latest version.

Rectangular Lasso Tool
Some free programs, like CollaNote have a rectangular lasso tool where you drag the top left point to the bottom right that is honestly faster in a lot of cases for very straightforward notes, instead of needing to draw a nearly fully closed circle.

Ban links in (this) feedback section
Among the recent “ideas” I’ve seen more comments sharing links to casino websites than actual useful ideas. I don’t know if there’s already someone moderating the section, but I think it’d be faster to ban links in the comments (I’m not an expert in website development so I don’t know how hard it actually would be)
Thanks4 votes
