  1. Hello Goodnotes Team,

    I am writing to strongly request a critical feature that is currently missing from the app: an option to clear all handwritten notes and annotations across the entire document at once.

    Currently, users have to manually delete annotations page by page or clear pages individually. Having to erase notes page by page in a long document is extremely time-consuming and inefficient. It is genuinely surprising that a full-document clear option is not yet available in a leading note-taking application.

    Adding a "Clear All Written Content in Document" feature—ideally with a safety confirmation prompt—would drastically improve the user…

  2. Das man Lesezeichen nicht nur in rot hinterlegen kann, sondern verschiedene Farben zur besseren Organisation der Mappen nutzen könnte. Dieses Tool wäre besonders für viele Schüler und Studenten von enormer Bedeutung, um für Klausuren gezielter lernen zu können mit den Mappen und Zeit zu sparen.

  3. I’d like to suggest a small but highly practical feature that would greatly improve the writing experience: the ability to scroll past the bottom of a page.

    The Issue: When writing at the very bottom of a document or slide, the page stops moving. This leaves no screen space to rest our hand, forcing it awkwardly off the edge of the iPad. It’s uncomfortable and makes it difficult to maintain neat handwriting at the end of a page.

    The Solution: Allow the page to be scrolled further up, past the bottom margin. This would create a blank, inactive space at…

  4. Dear Goodnotes Team,
    I am writing this email to share a suggestion aimed at enhancing and refining an app cherished by millions of users.
    As you may know, many users find it challenging to maintain consistent handwriting size across their notes. To address this issue, I propose displaying the current zoom percentage on the screen when a user zooms in or out. Additionally, it would be extremely helpful to introduce a zoom lock feature for a specified percentage. For instance, if a user zooms in to 120%, they could lock the page at that exact level. This functionality would ensure…

  5. Dear Goodnotes Product & Engineering Team,

    As a Science student who relies heavily on Goodnotes, I am writing to formally request the integration of native inline math rendering (such as MathJax or KaTeX) within standard typed text boxes.

    While the current handwriting-to-math conversion and isolated math block tools are useful for large equations, they create a highly fragmented workflow for typing hybrid content. Currently, it is impossible to type a sentence and seamlessly embed a quick mathematical variable, limit, or expression (e.g., f(x) = y² or θ) without breaking the paragraph alignment, creating a separate canvas element, or using external…

  7. When creating or editing a link, to select a page, we need to click on the adequate page. Sometimes it requires a lot of scrolling.
    Could it be possible to type the page number we want the link to lead to?
    If I am on page 3 and want a link to page 315, I need to scroll though a lot of pages to select the right one.

    Thank you.

  8. when collaborating, it would be nice if we had a setting to disable the "Live Cursor". A lot of time when someone edits, their Live Cursor stays in that spot and covers the edit. If you could make it hide after a few seconds of inactivity, or just a setting to turn the feature off altogether, that would be great.

  9. It would be an amazing addition to be able to edit the textbox presets (i.e. Modern, Classical, Technical) to be what you want it to be. I find that I am switching between my default fonts and having to change everything again, just to write my text in a different way. This can be looped in to the idea for making presets for "body, heading, subheading" but this would be accessible to a notebook rather than only a document.

  13. I would like to suggest an improvement regarding font management and text formatting across devices, specifically on the Desktop/Windows app.

    Currently, when writing or adding typed text using custom fonts on the iPad version, the formatting gets completely messed up when viewing or editing the same note on the Windows/Desktop version. The text alignment shifts, fonts reset, and the layout breaks.

    Proposed Solution:
    Please allow users to change, edit, or customize fonts directly within the Desktop/Windows app, or improve cross-platform font syncing/rendering. This will ensure that document layouts and alignments remain consistent across iPad and PC/Windows.

  14. When selecting a link with the Apple Pencil, it now shrinks the font (or in my case, an emoji). When resizing, it will return to its original size once you increase/decrease the size, but as soon as you deselect, it shrinks again. Started 2 updates ago.

  15. It is recommended to add a zoom‑lock feature. After zooming in to a suitable position with two‑finger gestures, the zoom level will change again if you swipe left or right across the interface with two fingers.

  17. Could you add a middle-click to drag, or any other easy way to navigate a Whiteboard with a mouse?

    Navigating a Whiteboard with a mouse is unintuitive compared to how easily it's done with a trackpad. Currently, the only way is to use the small preview window at the bottom left corner, which can be quite limiting depending on your zoom level.

    Thanks in advance.

  18. I am writing this suggestion as a response to how obnoxious it is to set up a workflow that mirrors the Goodnotes Library across different, external applications.

    The current system has obvious limitations; the automatic Backup to Google Drive (or DropBox, OneDrive and WebDAV) is very useful for keeping an up-to-date PDF copies of Goodnotes documents, however it behaves solely as a backup rather than a true mirror (this is fine, but there is an audience that desires a true mirror that isn't accommodated for, even if they themselves don’t fully know how useful it would be). Currently:

  19. It would be very helpful to be able to select multiple images when inserting them and then reduce their file size. I have notebooks that are very large because they contain many images; this often causes backups to fail because the process takes so long.
