Quick navigation to previous page / Back or Return Button
I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.
However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have to scroll back through the PDF, which can be time-consuming and distracting.
That's why I would like to suggest that the app include a shortcut that takes the user back to the page they were reading before clicking on a link. This would save time and make the reading experience more seamless and enjoyable.
With this feature, users would be able to easily navigate back and forth between different pages and references within the PDF, without losing their place in the document. I believe this would be a valuable addition to the app and would make it even more user-friendly for people who read and take notes.

I want the option to be able to go to a different page and then click a 'back button' to whatever page I was on previously (within the same notebook). This would be really helpful since some of my notebooks are really long, and sometimes I just want to check something out on a different page and then go back to the page I was previously on. It takes me a long time to scroll all the way back to the page, so this would be very helpful :)

Yes!!! This is so trivial yet so annoying. I use a calendar in GoodNotes and since I have that document open at all times, I have it under my starred Documents, but that’s still quite annoying. Please implement this, that would be great!

A simple button in the menu area to directs the user to the open documents instead of open any document just to open the previously opened docs.

I'm often reviewing older notes on previous pages, then scrolling back to the last page. It would be nice to have a button dedicated to the last page of the notebook so getting there is easier. The Go to Page feature on the more button is close, but it defaults to the page you're currently on, which doesn't make a lot of sense. What if it defaulted to the last page instead? This seems like the far more likely use case and would be a simple fix

Now, we cannot go back to the link point after tapping a link in the pdf. How about adding this feature?

Can you add a kind of "Back to writing" \ "Back to last document" button to the main page. Thanks.

This was a feature in Good Notes 4, but I could not find it in Good Notes 5.
https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4115825--last-viewed-page-button has it marked as completed, so I felt the new comments may not be noticed. I'm posting a new thread for it.Thanks.

Would be very useful, in particular for large pdfs with hyperlinks: a single "previous view" button or gesture would be perfect.
May be this would be a first step toward suggestion http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/33538312-enable-to-create-links-between-pages -

Goodnotes 4 had a feature whereby one could "go back" to the last page one had viewed in the document. This feature is not available in Goodnotes 5. I request that this feature be added to Goodnotes 5.

Yes, please! Either or both...
* Simple forward/backward buttons next to thumbnails button
* (Supposing page-advance is ‘swipe right to left’) Swiping up or down for forward/back -

I am a heavy user of the Go Back command in GN4. I I can't really upgrade without it. Why would you have removed it?! Please bring it back!

I would love the ability to go back to previous screen or page instead of having to scroll through after clicking a embedded link . For example I use a digital planner and while I’m looking at weekly view I might click Monday for example, thus taking me far away from my weekly page. I then have to swipe through or go up to my bookmarks to get back. A simple gesture or button that’s essentially backs up would be the greatest user friendly improvement .

Provide a Back button to allow you to navigate to the last page viewed. Using a PDF Planner purchased from Etsy, I navigate around large hyperlinked documents and often have to go through multiple steps to get back to a certain page. Having a back button would save a lot of time.
Today if I use a link that takes me to another section of the document, I have to go to the grid view, scroll until I can find the page I was before and then select it to return.

Please reintroduce the go back option that was present in goodnotes 4 in goodnotes 5. That allowed us to go back to an initial page if we clicked on a internal link. It’s so annoying to be forced to scroll back the full document once a link has been clicked.

In goodnotes4, this button is really useful! However, I can’t find it in the new vision, which confuses me a lot. Please set this button for users to go back where they viewed just now. I believe it helps many people.

Where is the "go back" option that was so useful in GN4 when using pdf hyperlinks? It's annoying to be able to "click" on a page link without to be able to go back when reading a document.
