  2. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  3. I’d love a feature that would allow you to easily select all highlighted (with the highlighter tool) material to copy and paste into another note. When studying, or when reading over documents or notes, I tend to be “old school” and highlight relevant material for further review or further studying. I would then love to be able to take all of my highlighted stuff and copy it into a condensed note for studying only what I’ve highlighted. Hopefully that made sense!

  4. I mostly use Goodnotes to annotate PDFs. But sometimes after making my annotations, I realize the the original PDF has a typo or requires some sort of alteration. In the current iteration of Goodnotes, I have to drag and drop the annotations from the old to new PDF. It would be amazing to be able to replace the underlying PDF with a few clicks. Please! 💔 So many people's workflows would improve drastically.

  7. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  9. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  12. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  13. Changing color of written or typed notes with lasso tool.
    For example if you color code your notes and accidentally write a paragraph in the wrong color, you can change the color of everything that is encircled in the lasso.

  16. In the "More" (i.e. ...) section, we can see the current page number and it would be practical to have "Go To Page" just below. I also wish to suggest adding some space, perhaps a section title, and group together "Clear Page" and "Move Page to Trash". I very frequently use "Go To Page" and always have to be careful to be precise so I don't accidentally press "Clear Page".

  17. Having a small toolbar on the side that contains user’s favorite pens, highlighter, etc… will be able to add new colors to the favorite bar, and able to adjust the order of the pens on the favorite bar.

  18. Would be nice to have an "insert line" option/feature like in Apple notes. It's frustrating not being able to go back and add additional notes to certain pages.

  19. To make them decent looking it would be good if there would be flashcards with linings, dotted etc. thus improving the handwriting and keeping one look at all notes (for the visual lerners)

    Linierte, karierte, gepunktete Lernkarten für ordentlichere Notizen und Fortführung bisher genutzter Formate der Lernunterlagen

  20. I often need to change scrolling direction due to the fact that this setting cannot be applied to each document independently.
    Therefore, it would really help if the scrolling direction menu item was a simple toggle button, which would make perfect sense since there are only two options and so it is totally unnecessary to dive further in the menu settings to be able to change it.
