  3. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I love using GoodNotes for my medical study workflow.
    I would like to request a Table of Contents, Sub-contents navigation feature for PDFs.

    This would make navigating large textbooks much easier, especially for students and professionals working with multiple long medical PDFs.

    Thank you for considering this feature and for continually improving the app!

  4. File upload size on paid plans are too small. I am transferrer from IOS to Windows, it only allows 200 MD. I have prewritten notes so the file will be larger, but cannot be uploaded in goodnotes format. PDF download option is only Flatten, which my links does not carry over.

    • larger upload size for paid subscription, even goodnote files
    • allow export in other formats other than flatten!

  5. 4 thumbnails in one row makes it very hard to see what page is it. 3 thumbnails should be better to discern what is the page contents.

  6. You recently introduced "Text Doc". I figured that text within these Text Docs is not searchable. You only find words used in the title of each Text Doc which is obviously limiting.
    I am using iOs devices with iCould sync.

  8. Oh... that's where the copy tool is! Buried behind the ( . . . ) menu, so now in layer two of the context menu when I have circled content I want to copy and move.

    Why?

    And I do realize there is a Duplicate option but I don't want to drag my content around behind me, I want to have the copied content ready to be pasted multiple times over without it visibly overlaying other content which Duplicate does.

    But maybe I am just super old fashioned and want to copy and paste content all the time and therefore…

  9. Please add an option to sort the Outline/Table of Contents by page number by default. Right now, outline items often appear in the order they were created or imported, which makes long documents hard to navigate. A default “Sort by page number” setting (ideally per-document, with a global default in Settings) would improve usability and reduce manual reordering. If users prefer custom order, they should still be able to switch back to manual sorting.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  14. 1) GoodNotes icon and menu tab color theme (Document Tab color change)
    : A theme option that allows changing the background color of the menu tabs, as well as the lined or highlighted UI elements used throughout GoodNotes.

    2) Tab color theme feature (Menu tab background color change)
    : An option to change the color of GoodNotes tabs. Recently, many devices have switched to OLED displays. OLED panels are particularly vulnerable to blue-toned colors, which can cause image retention or burn-in. While the current blue color scheme of GoodNotes is visually appealing, long-term use increases the risk of image retention.

  15. Currently, GoodNotes AI can only be used for basic document search (an advanced version of search) and asking questions within a document. Even when hints or correct answers exist in the document, it often responds with messages like, “The requested content cannot be found in the document. I will answer using general knowledge.”

    In addition, I would like the AI to provide answers that directly address my questions, but instead it often gives summarized or reorganized responses, making it difficult to find the exact answer I am looking for.
    For example, when I ask, “Is XX correct?”, the response usually…

  16. I would like to request that all pen tools be displayed as floating toolbars to provide a wider and more comfortable writing area.

    I apologize for mentioning other apps, but these days, most apps—such as Notability, Noteshelf 3, and Scrawl—use floating toolbars, which makes writing feel much more comfortable. In contrast, GoodNotes has pen tools and tabs that occupy fixed space first, with an additional floating pen toolbar displayed below them. This results in a lack of writing space and makes the writing area feel narrow and uncomfortable.

    I hope GoodNotes can also move all pen tools to fully floating…

  18. Return the way you can place stickers from goodnotes5 into goodnotes6. It’s weird that it was possible in goodnotes5 to select the sticker tool and then when I press on the page I can choose which sticker tool place but in goodnotes6 I need to create a sticker and only then I need to move it where I want it to be.

  19. Requested Features (Suggested Priority)
    1) OCR for Imported PDFs
    Generate an OCR text layer for imported scanned PDFs, making them searchable within GoodNotes

    Optional settings:

    Language selection

    Accuracy-priority vs speed-priority modes

    Non-destructive OCR (preserve original images while adding a text layer)

    2) Document Conversion (Import / Export)
    Convert the following into PDF, then import directly into GoodNotes or auto-create a note:

    Word / Excel / PowerPoint / Images / TXT / HTML / ePub

    Optional export conversions:

    PDF → Word / Excel / PowerPoint

    PDF → Image (PNG / JPEG / TIFF / GIF)

    PDF → TXT / HTML /…
