YES!!! This feature would be super helpful. As a college student, I love taking notes directly on the slides my professors provide, but I like to add my own lines to write on. Because I created the lines however, it makes it incredibly difficult to move my handwriting around from one line to another without moving the lines as well. If I could “lock” the lines, it would allow me to select my handwriting more easily.

I have been using Goodnotes for 2 years, and I love it, but I have been wanting this feature to be added for the longest time. It would be a game changer for me!

Please add this feature. A lot of people are leaving Goodnotes because it is frustrating to not be able to work without images or text being moved around. We need the ability to lock layers, text, and images.

Please please add this feature. It is very frustrating, when planning, for back layers and stickers to disappear. It makes planning timely and very frustrating. A lot of new people leave goodnotes because of this.

The ability to lock an item such as an element to the page so that it isn’t selected by mistake would be incredibly beneficial. The palm rejection is hit or miss, it is becoming increasingly obnoxious when I am writing and an element I placed down to act as a sticky note or to-do list is selected out of nowhere, outside of the lasso tool I have not seen any kind of option to turn this off. Having the capability to simply lock an element to a page so that it can’t be moved would alleviate that issue, as well as diminish some of the back and forth when it comes to the lasso tool. For folks like me who create their planner pages entirely with elements this would be a crucial function.

Layers that can lock like Noteful or just a simple lock for text boxes & images like Samsung Notes

Hi
With respect ,
Currently i am a permanent user of goodnotes 6 . So i have a suggestion that will help in my privacy , the suggestion is regarding to add a feature in the app to lock full folder instead of documents one by one which take long time . So if this feature add in the app it will be very helpful for the user to put his/her personal documents in one folder with privacy lock .
Thanks .

Any update to fix this?

Elements should be able to be locked, grouped, and mirrored.

It gets sometimes disturbing. When I paste an image & want to annotate on that the image gets dragged & I have to undo everything. Consider making an option to lock the image

Another reason this would be great is since currently, when I go to edit my textbox that I want in a specific location the textbox usually ends up moving when I try to highlight text I want to edit or change the colour. Then I have to press the undo button to return the box to its original location meaning I also lose the text I had just typed/edited.

Every time I add an image (a widget or insert page) I go to type over it and it won’t let me. The image gets highlighted. You should really have an image lock feature for this.

Yes, I agree! I have a downloaded planner template from Etsy that came with so many cute stickers to customize lists, etc. However because you can't lock stickers/images, when you write over them it always tries to move the sticker to the front which makes it very tedious to have to arrange, send to back, over and over again.

Yes please! I often create diagrams and then write inside the diagram. If I need to erase, I prefer the stroke eraser for precision and efficiency. But recently, it has started erasing the shape, even if my eraser doesn’t come anywhere near the line of the shape. For example, I drew a circle, added dividing lines like a clock and then hand wrote content inside. The eraser ignores the line but erases the circle.

I wish I could lock the content or pictures I wrote with a pen. Every time I write, if I accidentally select a photo, it suddenly moves, which is inconvenient. If I could lock and unlock the photos or text I want written with a pen, this problem could be solved. Please help me.

Locking text would be SUPER helpful for iPad users. It does get frustrating when I use text and then try to draw a diagram underneath, only for it to select the text above again. When I try to put a text box underneath, it wants to select the text above after removing the spacing.

It would be extremely beneficial to lock text so it wouldn't be selected and or touched and accidentally move it with the lasso tool, editing it again, just being a huge pain overall. The lock feature could be comparable to Canva, where you can lock a "layer" after selecting it, and it will not be moved. Maybe even add a lock feature button on the toolbar, so instead of clicking on the textbox with a pop-up that appears with "unlock," you can click it and then go to the toolbar and select the unlock icon.

Please let this be the next update. I wish this weren't a big deal, but a small detail would make the difference.

I want to lock text boxes and photos.
If I put a lot of text boxes and photos, they move with the slightest touch and I need to do something about the mess on the edit screen. I really want this done now. I want the text boxes and photos to stay put. By the way, freeboard has a lock feature.
