    1. Reverting works for the whole document - even if I on the second page by reverting I can clean up the first one. It’s really annoying.

    Would be nice to have reverting working for each page rather than the whole document

    1. By some accidental reverting or just inaccurate editing I can lose data or put some new edits I was not intended to but I won’t notice it right away.

    Would be nice to have an ability to lock a page from editing or reverting

  1. Share a page with a web link, maybe is too much that the other persons you are sharing with can edit, but at least they can have a tool to point sections like the red pointer on app. So you can make changes on the app and the other people can watch as you draw flows or anything. That would be super helpfull, like a blackboard

  2. Useful if someone import pages wrongly.

    Say I want to import a 300-page pdf file into a new file, but I mistakenly chose to import it into the current file. It would be convenient if there was an undo button to delete those new pages in the current file.

  4. The text should write perfectly on the notebook lines, no more awkward spacing. The angle of the text should be allowed to be manipulated as well. There have been times where I have wanted to put my text vertically or at an angle.

  5. I would like to import a Folder Structure, including Subfolders and Documents and find that structure represented in GN5 after the import. This would make GN5 a much easier to use Documents Management System if one has a lot of Documents before switching to GN5. Currently one has to create the whole Folder structure manually and import the Documents for each Subfolder separately.

  6. I would like to be able to upload my own notebook cover from my camera roll. This would allow for personal pictures, aesthetically pleasing wallpaper covers, and individually made decorated covers with our title on it.

  9. When I write traditional I have to angle my paper. Not a complete 90 degrees. Just ever so slightly.

  11. A common action that I perform in Goodnotes is the "Convert Handwriting to Text” and use that converted text as an Outline in my document. What would be nice is there was an option from the converted text window to save the converted text directly to an outline. I’ve attached a screen recording of the steps I currently go through to add an outline title.

  12. When exporting a GoodNotes note to pdf, there is that bleeding of words (shown in picture). It loses that professionalism and clarity and I really do not want to stop using GoodNotes but these two factors are important to me. If there is no fix on this, I might need to switch to another note-taking app, unfortunately.

  14. Include a landscape version of the A6/A5 paper templates for use in flashcard/jotter style note taking. At the moment there isn't even plain landscape A6/A5

  19. Make it possible to "Magic Wand"-select a color that you need to crop away on a picture, so that you're left with only the image on the page, no white borders around it. (The same way it can be done in Photoshop or even Apple's Pages & Keynote)

    e.g. Red dot on white square picture, becomes only the red dot that I can freely move around in GoodNotes, without hiding text behind the white border.
