Custom folder colors / Different color options for folders
Custom folder colors! I’m happy to have different colors to pick from, but I would love to use a color wheel for more colors like orange or different shades!

You can now choose any color for your folders using a full-spectrum color picker. Simply tap a folder, select Customize Color, and pick your preferred color from the color palette — or enter specific HEX values for precise color matching.

It would be amazing if we were allowed to change folder colors in order to maximize organization.
Moreover, having the details (like the size) of a file or document would be great as well. Having these features would be of great help, particularly when arranging and organizing files given that most users have varying storage capacities. With these, we would be able to allocate more space when it comes to importing and viewing documents with the GoodNotes application.
This might not be the first time for someone to suggest this, but I sincerely hope that may this idea be taken into consideration. GoodNotes has been really helpful for me as a student. Thank you so much and please remember to keep safe!

Please add this. I have all of my college classes in individual folders and it’s just a sea of blue. I would love to color code them based on the colors I have them in webcourses so they are easily identifiable

It would be very nice, if you could give your folders a color, so it is easier to find the right folder.

I’m not sure why this isn’t a feature already. Folder color change would be so helpful and as a programmer myself, it makes so much sense to provide organizational tools such as this. I also get that folders in Windows aren’t allowed to be changed, but for this app it is very necessary. Another feature would be to be able to keep the last known font size for covers and another for pages. It’s annoying to have to change it every single time as it always starts at the smallest font. The ability to create default settings per cover or page type would be very helpful as well. Anything to save time when creating different notebooks would be so much less frustrating.

Yes please! It‘d make it easier to find different subjects if we could at least color code them. Having only one color and design makes it harder to find what we‘re looking for.

The design of the folders is pretty boring and i know you could make something way more modern and less techie.. those blue archivers are clearly not the best looking folder icons you can use, and while at it, plz let us change its colours so we can set different colours to different content of the folder.. would be easier to use, like university folders at green, stuff at blue, job at orange, etc...

Could you please change the UI a bit-the current UI while it is good I find it annoying that there’s too much blue everywhere, the folders are blue, the document and folder names are also blue and the settings icons are also blue, could you please change the folders and document names colors to black instead of blue in a white background and also to white color folders names and documents in a black background!!!

In main menu, add "custom" order for notebooks and folders. Add this where it says "name", "date", and "type" on the top of the main menu so you can keep the books in an order you prefer.
Make folders more customizable, add option to change colors of folders or add designs or icons to folders, similar to notebooks so that it is easier to distinguish folders and find them with ease.
Add a "folders" section to display only folders on the righthand side of the main menu page where it displays "documents" and "favorites". It would also be helpful to add each folder to this option to select each folder with ease.
Add a dropdown for folders so you can view its documents without having to enter a second page with the folders documents. This way you can see everything from the main menu and it makes it easier and quicker to find and stay organized if you could expand/minimize the folder.
This could be done in a cascading style when in the list form with a little arrow.
In the block form you could have a folder open with an arrow revealing a sub section block. I believe this is called something like a collapsable mega menu for mobile devices.
You could also do a preview of the folder when you scroll over a folder, which would work on devices with a mouse, or you could use the "hard tap" function with pressure sensing devices.Add merge/combine/insert/move entire notebooks or documents from the main menu so you don't have to move them page by page.
Add a hyperlink option so you can insert and view a document page in another document. If you click on it you could also add a href to go directly to that notebook/document from where you are. This would be super useful when organizing a lot of information.
Make a ability to hyperlink sections directly to a page. This would come in handy when you have the calendar or notes and you could add like a sticky note icon or something that would direct you to the page it referenced on another page/tab. For example if you have "assignment" due on specific date and add a hyperlink icon it would take you to "assignment" you have referenced on another page.
When making idea boards of you could have the images, sections, or words have an ability to hyperlink so you can go directly to page from app.
When importing/pasting text add a "clear formatting" option to get rid of background color so it inserts nicely, currently you cannot even get rid of background text color.
Make it possible to editable text like a .docx or .doc, not just .pdf.
When importing a editable text, make it so you can edit the document itself without having to typeover it as though it is the background of the page. import the text itself.
Add a document section to make "word" type documents so it can be used for work and school to submit work without having to use multiple apps.
Make ability to import styles or presets from other people.
Make "shared" documents/notebooks/folders so you can collaborate with other people with the app.

Dem Ordner (Folder) ein Foto (picture) oder nur Farbe (color) geben, damit man sie besser Unterscheiden kann
