Function allowing permanent toggling "custom outline/PDF outline" for outline filter within notebooks
I have been a Goodnotes user for over 5 years, and it is currently my primary note-taking app for my studies in medical school. I have recently noticed a small redundancy that I believe can make the user experience a lot smoother if a slight improvement is made. When accessing the outlines within a notebook composed of imported PDFs, there are both custom outlines and auto-imported PDF outlines. As is the case with many students, the PDF outlines are often cluttered and sometimes irrelevant, so custom outlines are instead used to divide the various subsections (eg. lectures) within a notebook. Custom outlines can be filtered, so as to show custom outlines only, however, when re-opening the notebook the user must re-filter this (ie. toggle "PDF outlines" off), which is oftentimes redundant. I believe providing a simple function where "PDF outlines" can always be toggled off, so that the user does not have to continuously toggle this every time they open the notebook, would make a substantial improvement to the seamlessness of the Goodnotes user experience.
I have attached a screenshot of the function I am talking about from one of my own notebooks.

There should be an option to automatically filter your document outlines. I continue to toggle off pdf outline to only view my custom outlines but every time I make a new document or even leave the app, all the outlines are back again making it hard to navigate sections of my notebook.

Some pdf documents imported to a goodnotes folder to already have a lot of annoying outlines in them. Goodnotes helps you with not showing them by selecting that in the outline section with a checkmark.
After closing the folder and opening it again, the checkmark is set back to "show pdf-outline", so it originally shows the pdf-outline all the time which is super annoying.
Could you please import the feature that the checkmark stays as selected by the user, so that he can decide for every single folder if he wants to see the pdf-outlines or only hisself.

PDF outline is not always necessary in docs. I imported PDFs into my note and the pdf outline is always on, even I turned it off every time. It’s distracting from the main notes. Can it stay off??

In Goodnotes there is the option to structure a document. There is then the "Own outline" and the "PDF outline". You can then use the filter to select which of the two outlines should be displayed, or whether both or neither should be displayed. I actually only ever need the "Own outline" and I never want the "PDF outline" to be displayed. Of course I can always select this when I am in the outline, but when I open a new document or go to the same document after I have closed Goodnotes, both outlines are always preselected. Is there any way to permanently select my preference?

Please make it an option to permanently disable PDF outlines that exist within a document, so that you don't have to go to 'filter' in the outlines view and turn PDF outlines off each time you open up a notebook.
When you download university readings or just lots of large documents in general it really clutters things up. I would love to be able to turn this off once for all my notebooks and forget about it! -

At the moment, any time I reopen the app the outline settings is reset. This is very annoying as some of the imported PDFs contain their outlines which I do not wish to see in my custom outlines. The settings should be remembered for each document.
