Increase Folder Emoji Options for Better Organization
I would love to see a wider variety of folder emoji options in GoodNotes.
Currently, the limited selection makes it harder to visually organize folders in a way that reflects different subjects, moods, or purposes. Many users rely on visual cues for quick navigation, and expanding the emoji library would greatly improve usability and personalization.
For example, adding more categories such as symbols, Exclusive color for emojis, objects, or even allowing custom emoji (including iOS emojis) would make the experience much more intuitive and enjoyable.
This small change could significantly enhance folder organization and overall user satisfaction.
Thank you for…

Screenshot improvements
The current screenshot feature captures all notes on the page. I wish to add an option to capture only the background.
Also, it would be easier to have an option like "screenshot and copy", the current workflow is too complex: screenshot, share, copy, and close the preview...
So two features: "screenshot background", "screenshot and copy".

zoom out
be able to zoom out, and allow the page to stay zoomed out. i would like to be able to have buffer room on the left and right of the page, as of right now, you can only zoom in, any attempt to zoom out (to see multiple pages at once, or understand where the edge of the page is) the page bounces back to fit the screen width.

Exporting Whiteboard “Scenes” to Standard Pages
Hey so as a computer engineer student i love the whiteboards tool as it feels like writing on a piece of paper and is good for solving problems. I think maybe having something called scenes on whiteboards. For example, if I do homework and I solve it, but its alot i feel like you should be able to export a standard size paper so it's not all on one page, maybe front and back, and it's at a decent size on the page. kinda like stealing the idea from the freeform app.

Option to Customize Thumbnails Per Row in Page Navigator
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I have a small feature request regarding the page navigator.
On my previous 12.9-inch iPad, the page thumbnails were displayed four per row. I organized many of my bookmarked pages assuming this four-per-row layout.
After switching to a 13-inch iPad, the navigator now displays five thumbnails per row. Because of this, the layout of my bookmarked pages has been disrupted. The rows I organized are now mixed, which makes it difficult to recognize them at a glance.
It would be very helpful if users could customize the number of thumbnails per row (for example, choosing four instead…

[Study Sets] Add Timer-Based Auto-Flip
Open Practice should have a timer and auto flip function.
Scenario:
You want a quick run through of the material but remain accountable. You start the timer. You get 2 minutes to look at the question and then it flips to the answer. It refreshes your memory without allowing you to skip thinking. Plus its hands free.3 votes -
"Destress" & Mindfulness Templates
Since we already have our screens and pencils out for studying, what if GoodNotes added a default category of "Destress" notebook templates?
Instead of just blank or lined paper, these would be templates designed specifically for taking a quick 5-minute mental break. As someone who loves art and sketching to unwind, I think having these built right into the app would be incredibly helpful for student mental health.
Some ideas for the templates could be:
Pages with geometric patterns, overlapping circles, or simple designs to just colour in
Shapes to trace or simple drawing prompts to get your mind off…

Pause / Play animated gifs
The ability to add animated gifs is great, but they just loop continuously. It would be nice to be able to click them to pause or play them. I'm using good notes to record some whiteboard-style tech how-to videos. I'm doing animations in procreate dreams and would like to drop those into a good notes whiteboard. I then use iOS screen record to record the whiteboard session.

BRING BACK NORMAL TYPING
The new update on mac makes it so that you cant just tap on the screen and type based on the lines of the page, you have to go through so many steps just to start typing, this has made it extremely annoying to take notes quickly, I suggest bringing back normal typing and keeping the holding page for whole page typing as an add on for people who want it.

split screen feature update
The new split screen feature on an ipad is very annoying and difficult to use since the update. As I am using one side of my screen to see powerpoints and articles, and using the others to write notes on, it constantly changes sizes and makes me toggle back and forth and has been very frustrating to use. Please change it back to the 3 dots at the top and make it easier for all students to easily take notes.

[Eraser] Eraser types buttons instead of a dropdown
Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it
I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

Central task list on user workstation for all ‘selected’ workbooks
I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.
It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.
If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

Smoother typing experience please!
Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs
Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)
Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing
More reliable copy/paste behavior

Sim links in file explorer
Have the ability to create simlinks to documents in other folders. Due to the number of folder I have, I occasionally want to have access to note in two separate folders. The only way to do this now is to make a copy which takes up double the space and doesn’t sync any hand written notes on the page.

Stop changing the UI
As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.
UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.
Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should be…

Screen record
It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
• Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
• Rewatch how notes were created step by step
• Create educational content or revision videos directly within the appSuch a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.
I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuously…

pen & highlighter straight line changing point
In the newer versions, the blue changing points for drawing straight lines are very big. If you zoom in, it becomes impossible to be exact.

Please put copy and paste back
Why did you change the copy and paste? It takes way too long to copy and paste an item now. I hate how it asks me a question each time I simply want to paste an item. I don’t understand this change. The question of “allow paste”should just be a setting you can pick outside of the regular function. I get behind in my note taking because i constantly have to answer the copy and paste question. The function was so much better before. Seriously considering different note taking app because of the tool changes. We were paying for a…
