  2. when highlighting texts on a desktop, please have it so the text automatically highlights as well, similar to using the highlighting feature in preview or word. this would help speed up highlighting when using a cursor and not on a tablet

  3. Whenever i type a text i usually have some words in bold. And if i then go ahead and change the size of the entire typed text all of it turns bold and then i need to figure out again which words i had bold and which weren‘t. That is really annoying.

    1. I’d like to be able to select a bunch of different pages and change the template so I don’t have to do it to each individual page.

    2. When changing the template, the writing will stay the same size while the template size gets smaller making the contents go off the page where you can’t see what you’re selecting which seems like a defect. The contents of the page should maintain the same ratio of size in comparison to the new page.

    3. Someone posted something about being about to use the lasso tool on multiple pages so you can select a…

  5. Often I write something indented and then decide to later to move it somewhere else aligned with the left. However, now it is shorter than the other lines, and so it would be handy if when lasso handwritten text you could also change the horizontal spread. Like how changing margins on a word document will redistribute the text to fit the new margins.

    I imagine this could be simple if the code can already detect and separate individual handwritten words. Otherwise, it would probably be too much work and maybe even require some ML.

  6. Maybe being able to click and see like a thumbnail of your „dashboard / homepage“ in order to switch between documents faster instead of returning and and pressing on the „back“ button couple of times to get out of your folders to the main page.

  7. There’s an extension on google chrome that allows you to add notes to highlighted text. Once the note is added, it’s hidden but you can access it again by clicking on the highlighted text or going to your dashboard.

  8. In GoodNotes 4 it was easy to rename a Favorite that has been assigned to a page. This is helpful to navigate through a large number of pages. In GN 5 I only get a list of thumbnails with page numbers, which is useless, unless I can figure out the content of the respective page from the thumbnail view.
    It cannot be too difficult to bring this feature back. The names that I have assigned in my old GN 4 documents are even shown now in GN 5! Since the day GN 5 came out, I waiting for this feature…

  11. An Export-Function for handwritten (!!! => not a PDF-Version) notes to Microsoft Teams / OneNote would be GREAT! A direct Sync to the TEAMS-Server would be even better!

  12. Note taking would be much smoother if we could use the selection tool to move text and objects without having to exit the magnification.

  15. When I import a document, sometimes I’d like it to be open. But app stays in the current folder and not the one I imported the doc into. So I have to navigate.

    I’d like to be see a toast message allowing me to click to open the newly imported document.

  17. When I have more than half of a page left but can't fit my next note, I want to add the next blank page to continue what I did on the previous page without having to re-paste the entire note onto a new page. In addition to taking notes, I also want the roping tool to move across pages, which is faster and easier than copying and pasting. This function works on notability.

  18. Allow use to take a screenshot across two pages. The lasso tool only allows you to select across a single page.
    If there is something on the bottom of one page and something along the top of the next page that you want to select, you are out of luck.

  19. It would be great if we could move a page from a notebook to a different notebook, or a document in a folder to a different folder with ease, without copying and deleting. A move function would be useful to be able to organize my notebooks with ease.
