  3. Copy/Paste tool selection synchronization in split screen mode: when in split screen mode, using the copy/screenshot function tool in one document would automatically select the lasso tool in the other document, allowing easier copy and paste between split screens without having to select the lasso tool in both documents.

  5. instead of interrupting reading workflow by requesting user to bookmark a whole page with extra clicks, allow user to use predefined handdrawn flags (stars, exclamation mark etc) to bookmark a region of page (or whole page). Provide a dedicated tab in preview to quick go to these areas.

  7. Currently, when I use the tape feature to cover text or images in my documents, I must manually remove the tape on each page if I want to export a PDF without those overlays. This process can be time-consuming, especially for larger documents.

    Would it be possible to add an option to export a PDF document without the tape annotations? An export setting that automatically removes or hides all tape elements would greatly streamline the workflow for users who wish to share clean documents without manually editing each page.

  8. Currently, if I upload a PDF file that has links in it (for instance, the table of contents), when I press the link, it will automatically take me to the page I selected. However, there is no way for me to go back immediately to the previous page I was on; this is cumbersome, as I work with laws and often have to jump back and forth between addendums, and having to manually navigate back to the page (or try to remember what page number I was on) is less than ideal.

    Noteful has a system that works similar to…

  9. It would be amazing to have vector based lines that are elastic, that could be editable and moved around after sketching the initial path. For the ends and mid points of the lines should allow user to pick arrow heads, circles, squares, etc. As an end type option the ability to connect to an object or photo, so if you move that object the line stretches to the new location yet the line remains edible.

    The line corners should have adjustable arcs or curves that could be tweaked.

    I use this app to draw diagrams of audio visual setups, so…

  10. Have the ‘printout’ function like in OneNote that automatically coverts the pdf pages into images lined up on your goodnotes page. This could also come with being able to embed larger files into the page as a single icon, rather than having all of the pages take up more space in your actual notes.

  11. Hi team

    I use GoodNotes like a Trapper Keeper from the 80’s so I have a lot of notebooks with dividers.

    However, when I am looking at all my thumbnails (especially in Split View) they seem too small when i’m using my iPad Pro 11”. See the attachment.

    It would be really useful if there was a setting ora pinch to zoom feature so that the thumbnails could be made bigger.

    Thanks for considering this future feature.

  12. I have the problem or rather the suggestion that they introduce it to upload only one folder to iCloud. I use Goodnotes for school and have the problem that I have to upload all the documents from the last few years to iCloud so that I can see them on several devices. Actually, I only want to see the current folder on other devices. But now my iCloud storage is full and I can't synchronize anything. My suggestion would be that they introduce the ability to synchronize folders in the iCloud so that the iCloud storage is not exhausted.

  13. It would be nice to be able to separate libraries of stickers. I have a bunch that are for work other for fun and all the libraries get mixed up in the one single horizontal line. Would be nice if we could make categories of libraries to make the search easier.

  14. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I recently subscribed to GoodNotes 6, hoping to take advantage of the improved writing experience, especially with the pencil tool. However, I was disappointed to find that I am still unable to use the pencil as I had hoped.

    I would love to have the ability to manually adjust the pencil’s sensitivity to better match my writing style. Currently, the default sensitivity does not feel natural to me, and having customizable settings would greatly enhance my experience.

    I believe this feature would be beneficial for many users who have different writing preferences, and I would truly appreciate…

  16. In Note+ or other apps, they can extend the page by adding some space on the left or right. Personally, our professor talks a lot and I need a lot of space to take notes on. So, if you make a feature of extending more space to the pdf page, I would really appreciate it. I'll upload the file of the Note+ app.

  17. I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.

  18. Ability to search within the notes, both the file itself and the annotations, e.g., handwriting.

    Handwriting recognition just like in the IOS app.

  19. 이미지 크기를 키우거나 줄일 때 상하 좌우로 동시에 크기가 변해서 주변의 다른 개체와 크기를 맞추기 힘들고, 개체가 놓일 정확한 위치를 잡기도 힘듭니다.
    이미지가 오른쪽과 아래쪽으로만 크기가 변한다면 훨씬 수월할 겁니다.

  20. I have been using Goodnotes 6 on my iPad Pro almost a year with my 2015 MacBook Pro running a version behind the requirement. The app works but not the documents created on the updated iPad. I sincerely hope GoodNotes Team able to create an option for syncing that it either can create a general basic compatible option for the documents upon syncing / saving. It's very frustrating that I will have to buy a new MacBook in order to use the sync function and so on. I suggest if possible there are options or patch allows the older version…
