  2. Instead of manually making flashcards, we should be able to upload our file and let it generate flash cards for us, it will be less time consuming. Also give different quiz options like filling in the blanks, multiple choice questions, and just writing out the answer

  5. When using the Zoom Window in addition the Auto Advance having the blue box on the left side of the screen is quite inefficient. I have been a long time of user (3 years+) and I have always thought that enabling the choice for the Blue Auto Advance Box to be either on the left or right would be HIGHLY useful!

  6. 在分享畫面的教學場景中,希望能提供“增添書寫位置的鉛筆圖示✏️動畫”的鼠標選項,鼠標跟隨書寫的位置移動,而且鼠標能持續停留在停筆的位置,可以讓觀看者更容易觀看。一切拜託了🙏,謝謝。

  9. 선을 그렸을때 거울처럼 반전모드가 있었으면 좋겠고
    사진도 반전기능 필요

    선을 그렸을때 그려진 선을 여러게 선택해 묶음과 해지기능 필요

    버그문제 - 선으로 대각으로 ㄱ자를 생성하면 그안에 작은 선을 넣으면 올가미로 선택시
    묶여 움직여진다

  10. It used to be that only in read-only mode would the hyperlinks be active. This allowed me to write in annotation mode without accidentally switching to a different page of the notebook. Now I am constantly being shuffled to a new page when I write if I accidentally touch a hyperlink. I rely on this app for all my self-scheduling, day planner, and journaling. With this change it makes the app unusable.

    • Presets of tool combinations: Allow users to save and access frequently used combinations of tool settings directly from the toolbar.

    • Example 1: A preset for creating diagrams could include a dashed line, red color, 5pt thickness, and the ruler tool enabled.

    • Example 2: A preset for annotating text could include a yellow highlighter with 50% opacity and a black pen set to 2pt thickness.

    • Time-saving feature: Eliminates the need to manually reconfigure tools each time, streamlining workflows!!!!

    • Enhanced usability: Tailor tool combinations for specific tasks and access them quickly with a single click.

    (My problem: I have three pen sizes…

  11. Similar to how you can type notes for specific slides on a powerpoint, this feature would allow you to type notes beside the document, not on the actual document. This feature could live in the sidebar of the document and be collapsable when not in use. For example, If you were using Goodnotes online or on the desktop app, you would be able to more efficiently type notes that correspond to each page without having to mess with text boxes, which often slow down workflow (espically if you are typing notes during class).

  12. We can write in the infinite grey space on either side of the documet. Doesn't have to show up when printing anything (only print out the page / inserted document). Or have numerous options to format it differently like OneNote when printing things out with annotations on the side.

  13. I travel a lot and am randomly signed out of my Goodnotes account. When this happens and I don’t have internet, I am unable to access any of my notes, despite the fact that they’re downloaded to my iPhone and/or iPad. Is there a way to continue to access my Goodnotes notes when signed out and without Internet access??

  14. I am using Goodnotes on MacOS 12.6 and there are no updates that work with my version of the mac. My notebooks are not getting updated on iCloud.
    At least fix it so we don't always need the latest version to have our files synchronized across all devices...

  15. It would be cool if we could bulk import pen/pencil/highlight colors. To click through as you add is a bit time consuming.

    Also, I think we should have different pen types. My handwriting looked phenomenal on the pages app but I love Goodnotes so I’m sticking with it.

  17. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am an avid user of GoodNotes and greatly appreciate the page linking feature. However, I would like to propose a few improvements to streamline this functionality.

    Currently, generating a page link requires navigating to the previous page of the target page, creating and copying the link, and then deleting the text box afterward. This workflow feels unnecessarily cumbersome.

    It would be incredibly helpful if you could add an option to copy the link of the current page directly from the “More” menu. Additionally, having a shortcut key for this function would enhance usability even further.

    Thank…

  18. The toolbar can be moved to the left side of the screen with the elements being ordered vertically, so to have more space to write

  19. The pencil is transparent and lacks boldness and clarity. When zooming out the strokes can appear fragmented, which diminishes the overall visual quality of the notes. Add some adjustable opacity settings to offer a more defined stroke.
