Bullet list / Sub-bullet points
Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

Giving more option for listing things (dot for listing which already have). like two dashes (--) for a sublist. 3 dashes (---) for sub sub list

Please please please this is such an easy add and makes note-taking/outlining notes way easier. Right now I have to keep manually indenting and adding subsections which wastes so much time. Automatic indenting for multiple sub-points pleaseeee

This would be a great feature! The only reason why I consider using notability over goodnotes

The new numbered and tiered bullets and numbers are a huge step forward. The numbers are just single level while the bullets do differentiate by indent level.
Please add tiering to distinguish levels.
Two versions (preferred): 1, a. i. etc. and hierarchical: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.The simple 1 a i approach would help differentiate levels. The Hierarchical will help with technical writing.

I very much need indent as well. Having it in "typing mode" is great.
But the way i mix typing and Text Notes, i need indent in a moveable textbox as well. This is something that is preventing me from purchasing GoodNotes 6. As I need to use Obsidian for some of my text notes.

I would love if bullet point features were cleaned up. I am torn because goodnotes does not have sub bullet points and notes look VERY messy in this app.
I would hands down use this app if this was corrected.

Why isn't this already a feature...? Seems pretty universal and crucial for good note taking

this is standard it practically any app ... should be in GoodNotes too

Please add Indent, Bullet and a Numbering icons next to the return button. This would be very helpful when using handwriting to text.

i cant use this app unless they add this feature

Absolutely need this! Outlines are my go to note taking style to help me organize information. Indent is needed to help understand what adds more detail to which statement.

I don’t understand how a ‘note-taking app’ doesn’t offer the ability to take good notes (ha ha). It in your name!
Firstly, bullet points and sub points can be super important for taking notes, especially using the outline method. These features are not hard and due to the lack of them, I have to type notes in Word, just to transfer them to goodnotes to write and highlight and it wastes SO much time.
Secondly, tables are such a good way of condensing and understanding information and I truly do not understand why you wouldn’t be able to create them. It’s just a pain for anyone trying to make good notes in school/university. Please fix this.
Third, having a digital ruler would be really helpful to ensure things are measured out correctly and straight.
Lastly, I’ve had an issue when trying on the computer app where it would randomly switch between typing and writing mode without any prompting. This caused me to waste a crazy amount of time having to stop and start sentences constantly and I emailed the customer service team and all I got after 2 weeks of waiting was a reply saying to look at the FAQs. This is ridiculous and unacceptable as a paying customer. Overall, I wanted to transfer all of my digital notetaking to this app however I think I am going to look elsewhere because I am super disappointed with the outcome of this app and feel like I was robbed of the money I spent and hope I had for it being a good tool in my uni journay

Changing between pages in text mode is difficult. A smoother transition between pages would be nice.
Also, sub bullet points. More text options overall.

Currently I use Goodnotes 6. It's the paid version. My bulletpoints don't indent when I hit Tab on my MacBook Pro in the typing mode. This seems silly for me to have a paid app that doesn't even have normally functioning bulletpoints. Even Apple Notes has this. It would be great if the bulletpoints functioned normally.
Other than this small thing, I love Goodnotes! The AI features in the latest update are mind blowing!

I take about 60% of my notes by hand but the remaining 40% is using my keyboard. Not having the ability to indent my bullets makes it incredibly difficult to indent and make it look indented. This is a critical feature that is needed to allow for note taking in the same way that I can with my pencil.

I find it suprising that indentations being so crucial in note-taking are not yet offered in Goodnotes. Please provide the option with different list options like dotted, dashed, numbered.

Yes please, we want sub-bullet points/ nested list. I want to be able to just press enter and tab to make new sub-bullet points underneath the previous one.

Pafi commented
Yes, please. I want to be able to just press enter and tab to make the sub-bullet points and sub-numbered list.
-
Pafi commented
Yes, please! Really need nested lists like these. On Google Docs, we can just press enter and tab to make the next list below, and indented to the right of the previous one. It's very convenient

Hi! I love this app and it is almost my go to, but I still have to use other apps daily in all my classes and at work, because there is no option for a multi level bulleted list where you can make bullet points and then click tab to indent one on the next level and have many levels of lists. This is such a key feature in note taking. Please add this feature!
