Permanent tab bar
When I have a document open, the tab bar shows a tab for each open document. Also, the Home tab appears on the left in the tab bar. When I click on it, the tab bar with the open documents disappears. To get back to the open documents, I then have to open a document again.
It would be easier if in the Home view (a) the tab bar remained permanently at the top (so that the Home view is just another tab), or (b) there was a shortcut called “Open documents” on the left.

Proposal to Improve the Template Change Feature (+ Add “Replace Page” and “Replace File” Functions)
Proposal to Improve the Template Change Feature (+ Add “Replace Page” and “Replace File” Functions)
Currently, Goodnotes does not offer a feature that allows users to replace pages in the same way as a “Change PDF” function. While there is a template change feature, it is limited to Goodnotes’ built-in templates and note-style formats, and requires importing content into Goodnotes first.
In many cases, there are situations where a page needs to be replaced—for example, when a lecture material contains typos or when an updated version of the file is provided. Therefore, it would be highly useful to have a…

Add security to protect our documents against your AI
Your AI is very obviously scanning and learning from our documents, sketches, etc. This is a huge breach of trust.
One huge use of Goodnotes for me and I am sure many others is to have a place to sketch out ideas. I cannot continue to do this in the knowledge that you are very obviously scanning and training your AI off of our ideas.
Without that foundation of trust there is no way I would recommend this application to anybody anymore.
Please rethink your AI integration. Apply AI only with consent and respect that "no means no".

Add a way to close file navigator and return to document tabs
There are two view modes in Goodnotes:
- File navigation
- Documents tabs (the documents already open)
We can switch from 2 to 1.
But for some baffling reason there is no way to simply switch from 1 to 2. Instead there is only the contrived way of having to open any file in order to return to 2.
I do not know why Goodnote's UI/UX team has been thinking all these years that that be an okay solution. No other programme does this and it is counterintuitive.
Could you please add this? It's so easy to do. E.g. you could add…

Different Layout für Study Sets
I would find it very helpful if there were several options for the background of the index cards – lined, squared, dotted.

Stop cutting function, I can’t turn the pages as smooth as before
Stop cutting function, I can’t turn the pages as smooth as before because the cutting function is always on unless I unclick it evertime.

button to jump from Home Screen to Tab View
Goodnotes often opens unexpectedly on the Home Screen (at least after every update).
Please add a button to the Home Screen so that users can easily return directly to Tab View (i.e., the actual working environment).
It's really annoying to have to select an already open file every time just to get back to Tab View.4 votes -

Download only the document you want
It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

Text boxes cut off when switching the desktop app use; Feature Request – Auto-Expand Text Boxes in Desktop App
I’m a Pro user and have noticed that in the desktop app, text boxes often appear cut off until I click on each one. This can be quite time-consuming when reviewing notes with many text boxes.
I would love to see a feature that allows text boxes to automatically expand or fully display their content by default, without needing to click on each box individually.
This improvement would greatly enhance the user experience and help maintain note readability across devices.

Ability to skew while cropping images.
It would be awesome if we could skew images taken with the app by adjusting the four corners of the rectangular crop independently similar to how microsoft lens works (please see attached photos for example). As it stands I am using that app and then importing the images I take of whiteboards and documents.

Make updated tools optional
Allow us to use the old versions of tools, whether an option in settings or the tool itself. Tools like the line editing tool are now useless at smaller levels as the circle used to select the line can be massively larger than the line itself, making it impossible to actually see what you are doing, but in the past it used to scale with how zoomed in you were. Other tools like the shape tool also have been affected by this. I make many complex drawings and diagrams for physics and I can no longer do practically any of…

Magic Keyboard
Subject: Feedback on Text Tool Usability with Magic Keyboard (iPad)
Body:
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I am writing to share some feedback and suggestions based on my experience using GoodNotes on an iPad with a Magic Keyboard.
Difficulty Adding Text Over Images I frequently need to add text annotations on top of inserted images. However, even when I have disabled "Images" in the selection options, clicking or tapping on an image to add a text box often selects the image itself instead. This makes it difficult to type directly over images without unintended interruptions.
Unintuitive Text Box Anchoring When I click…

Improve textbox toolbar - remove floating toolbar
When using a text box the toolbar will drop down to the text box instead of staying by the stationary/fixed toolbar, which results in the toolbar covering the textbox, sometimes not showing up, and sometimes I must manually close the keyboard (I don’t have a separate keyboard for my IPad so I type on the screen) to access the toolbar options. In the next update please let the textbox tools stay at the stationary toolbar, and add the previous textbox menu (with only some choices such as delete and copy/cut/paste etc.) to end corner of the textbox. And when marking…

[Palm Gestures] Disable Palm Gestures
Please introduce the possibility of palm gesture removal since the palm detection doesn't work properly when the iPad is used horizontally.
When we write on an imported picture, every time the palm touches the screen, GoodNotes switches to the lasso tool, and it's kinda annoying.
This feature is always on even if the iPad settings say to ignore the palm.121 votes -
Grading Instructor-uploading
I think it is critical that an instructor upload version be provided for grading important paper exams. The instructor would upload a PDF with batches of exams. Based upon a template, the batched PDF would be split into submissions. Then each submission would be sorted to the appropriate students and go through the grading process.
This would be useful in cases where students don't have easy access to iPads/styli. Or, where teachers are giving paper exams and don't want students to handle the submission process.

Vertical or Floating Toolbar Option
Hi, I would like to leave a suggestion that is very important to me. If possible, could you please add an option to move the Goodnotes toolbar? Currently, it is only available at the top in a horizontal layout, but it would be great to have the choice to position it vertically or even as a floating menu.
This feature would make it much easier to reach tools with the stylus, especially on large tablets where we often write in portrait mode (with the short side at the top and the long side on the side).
I hope you will…
