macOS 13.7 is unable to synchronise with iCloud
I own a 2019 MacBook Pro with a high-end configuration, and most software runs extremely smoothly on it. I spent a significant amount of money purchasing the Mac version of GoodNotes, but now I can’t use the sync feature due to a version issue. Do I really have to buy a new computer just to use this function? That’s absolutely ridiculous!

PDF Accessibility
When exporting PDFs into and out of Goodnotes, accessibility features like alt text on images, reading pane orders, etc. are totally lost. As an instructor, I have been using Goodnotes to annotate pdfs of notes in class, but I cannot post those annotated pdfs because they do not meet our University's accessibility standards. Exporting as editable or flattened files does not help with this.
Creating a PowerPoint and setting up accessibility info. in it is not difficult, and those translate perfectly to Adobe Acrobat and are recognized by Canvas. Ideally, it seems like Goodnotes handwriting recognition could essentially add alt.…

Hide Floating toolbar!
I do not prefer the floating toolbar idea!
Why do you need two toolbars — One floating and one fixed? It reduces useful reading or writing space.
Need an option back to hide the floating toolbar and reclaim space.
UI elements are not supposed to be the focus, content is.
This inability to hide the added floating toolbar is causing me to not use the app at all!

Straightening for the Highlighter Tool
Since the newest update, the straightening of the highlighting tool has been "improved", i.e. when highlighting and holding at the end of the line, the shape resembles the original handwriting with more details. But that brings a rather glaring downside: when marking, one usually does not highlight in a perfectly straight line but rather with multiple bumps etc. When holding now, the highlighter often is not converted into a straight line through the text but rather a bumpy line with multiple edges and curves. It therefore does not go straight through the text anymore.
It would be lovely, if GoodNotes…

The color of the pencil tool
For some reason, after the recent update, the pencil tool's color has become very light, and there's no setting to adjust it. I hope you can make the pencil color darker, or add an option to adjust its darkness/opacity.

Improve handwriting to text converter by removing newlines
Right now, when I convert my handwriting to text with the lasso tool, it also converts all the newlines. Any time I went to the next line because the line was full, the text now does to too. However, since text is more space-efficient, the newlines are placed randomly. There is no fast way of removing them, and when I ask AI to do it, it always changes some words as well, which I don't want. Can there be a way the converter understands my page layout or a button that just removes all newlines at once?

Reinstitute object selection toggle
Please put the object selection toggle back. When a writing tool, I do not want to select an image without purposely using the lasso tool. It makes writing on images difficult.

Writing on am image be writing on the image itself
When annotating an image that I imported onto the note, it would be amazing that if/when I move the image that whatever I wrote would move with it as if I wrote on the actual image itself. Currently, I could use the lasso tool but that seems very clunky for such a smooth interface such as Goodnotes

Remove auto-hotbar when using lasso
When you select something with the lasso, and the hot-bar of options immediately comes up, it gets in the way when you're trying to move things to a specific place, it would be much better if it went back to what it was - selecting using lasso, then tapping the selected area to pull up the object options.

Tool bar
The new tool bar is killing me. My notes are taking longer because I have to do more taps to get to the tool I want. the highlighter won't highlight straight anymore. Also, the shape tool has its own colors that don't match my chosen pen presents anymore. Please please fix the straight line tool. I can't draw charts or get an actual straight line without using the ruler which adds more steps to my process. Lastly, the computer version now DOESN'T have an undo button, you have to go up to the top, press edit, then undo instead of…

Import file name as it is
When importing a file, the filename gets cut.
Example:
Tried importing a file with a filename of "9. [PATHO] Disorders in WBC, Lymph Nodes, Spleen, Thymus", but it was cut to just "9".It's frustrating having to rename the files esp. when importing multiple files.

Quick access to all pages marked as favourites
Before the latest update there was the option to access an overview of all pages I marked as favourite pages after clicking on the „four rectangle“ buttom at the top left hand corner.
There the first tab displayed the overview of all pages and THE SECOND TAB displayed the option to quickly access all my marked favourite pages.
Now the second tab is the document outline (which was the third one before) and the third now is an overview of audio files. I almost never need audio files but I need the quick access of ALL my favourites sometimes just…

Integration of numbers/excel table with goodnotes
I think it would be an excellent feature to have a seamless integration of numbers or excel with Goodnotes. Basically the idea would be to connect a spreadsheet with your notes in order to be able to insert Numbers' or Excel's tables and plots that can be dynamically updated every time you modify the spreadsheet.

How to Recover an OST File and Convert It to PST Format in Outlook?
I am facing an issue with an old OST file that I can no longer access because my Outlook profile or Exchange account is no longer available. I have tried opening the OST file directly, but Outlook does not allow it. Can anyone guide me on how to recover data from an OST file and convert it into PST format so that I can access my emails, contacts, and other mailbox items in Outlook again? I am open to both manual methods and third-party tools —just need a reliable and safe solution.

Select text in a PDF across pages
We should be able to select (i.e., highlight) text from an imported PDF across multiple pages. Not being able to is very limiting.
