Floating sticky notes in margins
l want to request sticky notes or comments that can be in the margins or in the sidebar, independent of being linked to a single page. Imagine having a sticky note on your desk with reminders or instructions that you put next to your notebook. in this particular context, I want to have the instructions for an assignment posted outside of the page that I can refer to at any point to make sure I’m on the right track.

Pause / Play animated gifs
The ability to add animated gifs is great, but they just loop continuously. It would be nice to be able to click them to pause or play them. I'm using good notes to record some whiteboard-style tech how-to videos. I'm doing animations in procreate dreams and would like to drop those into a good notes whiteboard. I then use iOS screen record to record the whiteboard session.

Please make the vertical scrolling smoother.
It is clanky and feels like it has friction for every page. It really kills the experience.
Also it would be a lot better if you could make the pages continuous when scrolling vertically like in Notability.1 vote -
Rotate draw and hold/more nuanced lasso tool
Hi GoodNotes team,
I use GoodNotes heavily for planning and note-taking, and I’ve noticed a frustrating inconsistency with shapes.
When I draw an oval using the Pen tool with “draw & hold” (auto-shape), it sometimes snaps into place at an angle. However, when I select it, there’s no rotate handle or rotate option—so I can’t straighten it without deleting and redrawing.
In contrast, an oval created with the Shape tool does include a rotate handle. This results in two shapes that look identical but behave very differently, which can be confusing during fast daily use.

Connect playback to what was drawn
You should be able to click a recording, and it take you the page where it was made, and say you went over different pages while make the recording and drew things on the different pages, as the recording is going, it should take you to those pages
Inversely, if you drew something while making a recording, there should be a view where you can easily see what things you drew during a a recording vs just drew normally
ALSO, crucially:
I might be reading a several hundred page book, and I have my thoughts on a certain paragraph that…1 vote -
Lock Lines in Shapes & Pen Tool/Pen Tool + Handwriting//Element Stickers
The new update with the lock feature for images and text is great. However, being able lock elements/stickers, handwriting from pen tool, and lines from both pen and shape tool is necessary for the lock feature to make a real difference in the functionality of the app.

Backwards and Forwards Buttons Unusable
Hello Goodnotes,
Currently the 5 seconds backwards and 5 seconds forwards buttons are unusable, since hitting them causes lag and they often don't work.

MiniPlayer Opens on All Windows causing Lag
Before, when using Goodnotes with stage manager, if I started audio playback then the app lagged badly if multiple windows with the same notebook were open.
Now, if multiple windows are open, the app lags to a stop. This is because starting playback on any notebook from a recording (required to address another bug) opens the miniplayer on EVERY Goodnotes window, which causes substantial lag. This is insufferable.
This behavior has continued ever since the introduction of the New Experience.

Fix Timeline Bugs
Since the introduction of the GoodNotes 6 New Experience, Audio Recording began exhibiting several workflow-breaking bugs.
Originally, upon starting playback in a note, the timeline would open. Now that does not happen, costing me minutes.
Originally, I could pause playback and then take notes, which would then be correlated to that moment in the playback. In other words, I could hold down on the new text and continue audio playback.
Now, whenever I write notes and audio is paused, the timeline jumps to 0:00.
Please fix this.

Squeeze Toolbar should always be on top
I think that the "Squeeze" Toolbar should always be on top layer of UI. Now that when you use the lasso tool it auto pops up the the UI bar. If I use squeeze since that was the last action I took that should be the UI element that I see.
Hopefully this is an easy fix.

Automatic Handwriting enhancement / Erase and Tags
Hello,
Would it be possible to add an automatic handwriting enhancement feature, similar to the one offered by Apple Note?
And also to be able to erase by long-pressing with the Apple Pencil, like in Notability, for example.
These two features would be a fantastic addition to Goodnotes!
Another thing: a tag system for finding files more efficiently.
Thank you in advance to the Goodnotes development team if they read this message.

Recent Issues with Textbox Typing + Toolbar + Lagging + Further suggestion
1 - the toolbar being on top of the textbox itself is terrible. It blocks seeing text around where I'm typing which is really bothersome.
2 - the pin-tool stops whenever I try editing the textbox length (which is very often since it doesn't automatically align with the length anymore) which makes the app think ive used a different tool and completely defeats the purpose of pinning the tool in the first place.
3 - I often need to restart the app mid lecture because it crashed mid-typing in textboxes . The app is unable to accommodate basic fast typing.…1 vote -
BRING BACK NORMAL TYPING
The new update on mac makes it so that you cant just tap on the screen and type based on the lines of the page, you have to go through so many steps just to start typing, this has made it extremely annoying to take notes quickly, I suggest bringing back normal typing and keeping the holding page for whole page typing as an add on for people who want it.

View-only Link Sharing
It would be really helpful to have „View only links“ as an alternative to collaboration. This would enable us to share information without giving permission to edit it. I would use this really often in a school and work context.

Googlemeetでの画面共有
高校の授業でipadを使用させていただいています。
以下の方法を行うとプロジェクタースクリーン、生徒のiPadともに画面が真っ暗になってしまいます。
① 教員iPadでgoodnotes 6を2画面表示する
→ 左は自分用、右は生徒への共有用
② MacBookをプロジェクターにHDMIで接続
③ MacBookでgooglemeetを開いて、生徒に画面共有を開始
→ 生徒の画面には教員MacBookの画面が投影される
④ 教員iPadをMacBookへミラーリング
→ Goodnotes6 のプレゼンテーションモードで右側の画面だけ表示されるようにする ⑤ 教室前方のスクリーンと生徒iPadに同じ授業スライドが投影されていた
→ 現在はここでプロジェクタースクリーン、生徒のiPadともに画面が真っ暗になってしまいますiPadOS 26へのアップデート前は問題なく画面が表示されており、生徒からも「手元でスライドが確認できるのは非常に助かる」と言われていたために、現在非常に困っています。
4月の新年度を迎える前に改善をしていただけると本当に助かります。
また改善方法等がございましたら、教えていただけると幸いです。

Natural Switching Between Handwriting and Typing Without Tool Changes
In my study and note-taking workflow, I naturally switch between handwriting and typing. While GoodNotes allows adding a typing block, the current experience feels too simple and not fully integrated with the handwritten document, which makes the transition less practical during real study sessions.
A more natural interaction could greatly improve this experience: writing with the Apple Pencil would continue to produce handwriting anywhere on the page, while tapping the screen with a finger would instantly open the keyboard and allow typing directly at that location—without manually switching tools or modes.
This fluid “pen writes, finger types” interaction would remove…

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
