  2. Currently, when adding a link, the input field is pre-filled with an actual URL instead of a placeholder.
    This requires manually deleting the existing text before entering a new link, which is inconvenient.

    I would like the input field to display a placeholder instead of an actual URL by default. This would improve usability and streamline the process of adding links.

  4. Hallo, ich finde die neue Möglichkteit mit den Leensets echt super. Allerdings hätte ich gerne die Möglichkeit diese zu markieren. Z.B. in einem Ampelachema: rot: noch schwer, gelb: in Ordnung, Grün: leicht. Oder zumindest dass man bestimmte Karten auch wie in normalen Dokumenten mit roten „Einmerkern“ versehen kann. Außerdem wäre so etwas wie eine Gliederung auch sinnvoll.

  5. I frequently collaborate on projects with colleagues, and I was wondering if GoodNotes plans to implement a feature for real-time note-sharing, similar to Google Docs or Notion? It would be incredibly helpful to edit and annotate notes together without needing to export files or manually sync changes.

  9. 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.

  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 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…

  15. It is very hard to find comments in your old documents. Basically if you want to resolve a comment later you have to bookmark the page aswell. It would be great if a comment tab was added somewhere, where you could have an overview over all comments. (Similar to the attached picture in Adobe Acrobat). Another suggestion would be to simply add it in addition to bookmarks, such that pages that are commented are clearly visible (see other pic)
    In general if you would work on these features, the work together option for notes would be much improved aswell.

  16. When you have a canvas or a large note, to have the ability to set a standart size that you would use for writing, so that you can navigate around without having to take a long time to adjust the note after expanding or minimising.

  18. When I turn handwriting into text my #1 goal is to edit. This (apparently) has to be done using a finger tap, so ok, I'll work with that. I don't want to see a giant menu right away, which is what it does now, I instead want the insertion cursor to appear where I tap the text. (I'd use a tap and hold to bring up the menu.) I also don't want the regular virtual keyboard to appear and cover the text I just tapped, the text should remain visible :)

  20. GoodNotes is truly an excellent app. I use it every day.

    However, I am facing the following issue:

    Issue

    When creating a new note via double tap, the language setting configured in the settings screen is not applied.

    Details

    • I want to create notes with the Japanese language setting, but when I create a new note using the double-tap feature from the new note creation screen, the language is set to US by default.
    • As a result, handwritten note titles are not recognized correctly, forcing me to manually edit the title using the keyboard every time.
    • My workflow involves creating…
