  1. Tool to highlight specific words/phrases/diagrams and back-link them all together. Would work similar to the search function for words but would allow you to create faster connections between ideas by simply clicking on the linked text in the note.

    Could even automatically take all back linked pieces of text and combine into one temporary page.

  3. I think that an absolute eraser would be beneficial for Goodnotes. It would work with a higher level of erasing than what is currently available, not only erasing annotations but erasing whatever was imported. For example, importing a handout from university, an absolute eraser would allow us to erase a specific paragraph so that we can write and reword it better which fits our understanding better. This is not limited to rephrasing but also making it such that some words may be erased for fill in the blanks to promote active recall without the need to do flash cards. I…

  4. I don't know why there are two options
    1.Making flashcards using flashcards template
    2.Making flashcards using study sets
    Instead you can combine both to make it best .Read following point to know how ...
    1.There should be only one option to make flashcards (either by "Flashcard" / "Studyset" name )
    2. In this we can make our flashcard with all those options that are present in making flashcard using flashcard template
    a.Like editing image-by cropping it ,writing on it etc ,unlike studysets where we get only 3 options (text,image & sketching)

    b.Could share only selected flashcards instead of sharing whole…

  5. It would be nice to say "Select all handwriting" or simply "select all". Oftentimes when I need to resize I have to draw my lasso around the whole object multiple times because it misses a small or large portion. It would make resizing much easier if we could just say select all.

  6. The new flashcard feature is great, now we can see the cards in a bigger way. The only thing that would be useful, would be if we had an overview over all the cards like we do in a normal notebook over all the pages, so that we can find specific cards more easily.

  11. When opening the file-browser, one can only get back to the document writing view by opening a new document.
    Very inconvenient.
    Implement a "close button" for file browser an GN jumps bach to the document one was working on

  13. choosing a tool -> adjusting the size -> changing the color = desired preset
    it's a long process and one would not do it everytime while switching between headlines or a quick circle around a segment.
    It'd be very convenient to have such presets in place, so the user can customize it to their liking and take down notes in their desired styling

  18. I love GoodNotes and have been using it for several years. I also use GoodNotes for workshops and presentations. Therefore, I've got many large PDF's in the database.

    My problem is, that the GoodNotes database (synchronized with iCloud) already has more than 26 GB. This fills up both my iPad and my Mac.

    I'd love the functionality to be able to view and sort all files by size (without folders), check the largest files, and delete them in a bulk action. This would really help!

    I assume that other passionate GoodNotes users have the same problem.

    Thank you,

    Stefan

  19. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one
