[Fountain Pen] Lock Nib Angle
When using the fountain pen with Apple Pencil rotation enabled, users must constantly re-adjust their grip to keep the nib horizontal. Locking rotation forces a fixed default angle that often looks unnatural for a fountain pen.
Please add the option to lock the nib at a user-defined angle, for example by letting the user set the angle with a slider so the pen hits the page the same way every time. See image for example. This would greatly improve writing flow, style and comfort.

Search tool in text documents
At the moment there is no search tool in text documents. I don’t understand this decision at all. Being able to search within a text document is absolutely crucial.

Drag and Drop from PDFs to notebook while removing background
While in split screen, it would be very useful if we were able to drag and drop images between windows as a PNG. For example, if I’m reading a neuroscience PDF textbook, i want to be able to click and hold a diagram, drag it to my notebook page, and drop it without the white background. Currently, you can only copy-paste screenshots. We should be able to remove the background. other apps can do this and I would rather it be in goodnotes.

Universal Object Menu / Quick Selection
Please make both of them optional.
I mainly use the lasso tool to move objects around and the "Universal Object Menu" that constantly pops up at random positions is so distracting. I keep hitting things I do not intend to while moving around objects.
Same goes for the Quick Selection. I regularly import screenshots or pictures with the intend of writing notes on them. I do not want them to be selected every time I accidentally tap on them while moving the view of my document. I was able to deactivate this feature before, why is this not possible anymore?

Small sticker option
When using stickers, I would like to make them small as they are then the right size if using them regularly, but the quality reduces so significantly this isn’t possible, and I have to resize them every time, which is time consuming, and the inconsistency in sizing is annoying. If there was a way to increase the quality it would be great.

split screen feature update
The new split screen feature on an ipad is very annoying and difficult to use since the update. As I am using one side of my screen to see powerpoints and articles, and using the others to write notes on, it constantly changes sizes and makes me toggle back and forth and has been very frustrating to use. Please change it back to the 3 dots at the top and make it easier for all students to easily take notes.

Sticky Note pop-up gets cut off near page margins on iPad
On iPad, when I place a Sticky Note near the page margin, the pop-up opens partially cut off/off-screen and it’s inconvenient to use. It would be helpful if the pop-up could extend beyond the page edges or automatically reposition, so it always stays fully visible.
I’m attaching a few screenshots:
(1) note placed near the margin (highlighted)
(2) pop-up being cut off/off-screen
(3) example with the note closer to the center where the pop-up is fully visible

[Layer] — Lock objects: Prevent accidental changes
Lock elements on the page so they can’t be moved, edited, or erased by mistake, while you continue writing, highlighting, or rearranging other content on top.

Image lock failure
You completed the image lock. Yay!
Unfortunately once an image is locked, I cannot use the links programmed into the base document that are behind the image. Added links can be layered on top but the base document cannot be altered.1 vote -
[Marker] Improvements
The ONLY thing that Noteshelf has on you guys is the writing experience. Noteshelf has true marker feeling with lights and darks as you write. The pencil is far better... goodnotes' pencil (while appreciated) is primitive in comparison. The writing experience should be a priority to pull in a whole new category of work - art. It doesn't have to be all art tools. I don't expect it to be an art app. But I would love the writing experience and sketching experience provided in Noteshelf that, in actuality, they have had for the past 10 years. Everything else about…

Page Cropping / Trimming
I would like to have a feature that allows users to crop or trim pages to remove unnecessary areas and view documents in a cleaner format within GoodNotes.
Currently, only objects such as images can be cropped, but there is no way to crop the actual page area itself. Adding a page cropping feature would greatly improve usability, especially when working with scanned documents or PDFs that include unnecessary margins.
Page Cropping Using the Lasso Tool
(Apply to: Current Page / Selected Pages / All Pages)Crop current page only
Keep only the area selected with the Lasso Tool and…

page browsing by simple tapping instead of swiping
Swiping takes more time and effort for browsing through a document as compared to, e.g., tapping.
In many documents, I see an empty space to the left and right of the page. Couldn‘t this be used to allow tapping to effect immediate page browsing?

Goodnotes Page Separation
I love Goodnotes so much as a full time graduate student in chemistry. I can draw molecular structures, fill out pdf assignments with handwritten answers, and edit my work super easily.
I spend a lot of time uploading PDFs for homework assignments which allows me to write directly on them and export the pages into my grading platform. An idea that I have had (mostly for aesthetic purposes) is regarding the outline performance in a notebook; I add important pages to my outline, but its not necessarily a helpful tool until my notebook is over 50 pages or so. It…

[Eraser] Eraser types buttons instead of a dropdown
Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it
I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

Study Sets : Scratch sheet
When using a study set, you should be able to close and reopen scratch paper without saving it. For instance, if I want to use the same blank temporary paper for a different question, it will remain blank every time I reopen it, even if I save the file.

[Import] Vertical Auto Layout for PDF Import in Whiteboards
When importing a multi page PDF into a GoodNotes whiteboard, the pages are currently placed off to the right and arranged in a grid like layout. This forces users to manually reposition every page to create a readable top to bottom flow.
For large lecture PDFs or study materials, this manual reorganization is inefficient and time consuming.
A significant improvement would be an automatic vertical layout option where PDF pages are imported in a single straight column, stacked from top to bottom, similar to continuous scroll behavior. Ideally, this would be the default behavior, with an optional toggle to switch…

[New languages] Slovenian
Hello
We are using good notes in our company on IPAD machines. We only miss very important toll and this is ocr - handwriting recognition in language Slowenian (Contry in Europe - Slovenia). We miss this very much becouse we now implementig paperless work and if we dont have this language supported we have to switch to other program. We dont want this becouse goodnotes is great.
We dont need that the language of the program is in slovenian we need just the recognition language in slovenian.1 vote -
Built-in browser
Built-in browser or web search panel
When working on a note, project, or research database, I often need to look up information on Google or check the reference on the website.
With an in-app browser or a small search panel, users can browse and take notes without leaving good notes, creating a smoother and more efficient workflow.

Text document
・I want to be able to lay out images more freely in text documents. For example, if you reduce the size, you can arrange photos next to it.
・I want to insert a saved video on my device instead of a link.
・I find it convenient to be able to preview links on both text documents and whiteboards.
・I would like the image to be compatible with Live Photos.

Diary function
Please refer to diary apps such as Day One.
・Since I use it for diary purposes, I would be happy if a notebook function specialized for diaries was added in the future. If a function like a map database is added, it would be great if there is a mechanism that can record location information.
・I want a function like an album by tagging notes and images.
・If there is a calendar function that can be checked back on a date basis, I think it will be very attractive as a diary.
・There are a ridiculous number of notebooks in…
