[Toolbar] Support Customization
Bring back the option to customise the toolbar. I see a recent update has partially returned this feature (allowing to customise the main toolbar options), but this needs to carry over to each toolbar options (pen, pencil, highlighter, etc). Allow reorganising the squeeze pop up menu. This is meant to help streamline productivity, but now having my most used tools all over the place, I’m wasting time scrolling to find them.

[Toolbar Customization is live for Android, Windows and Web 🎉]
Hello,
We're happy to let you know that Toolbar Customization is now live for Android, Windows and Web apps.
For iOS users, this feature has been available since the November 2025 release — and now we’re excited to bring the same flexibility to more platforms.
You can now customize your toolbar in Notebooks and Whiteboards by hiding or showing tools, and reordering them to match your workflow.
Access Toolbar Customization from the Accessories Overlay or from Document Settings (in Notebooks).
For more details, please check out this article: Customize the toolbar.
Feel free to share your feedback and let us know how the feature works for you!

I second this! It would be **really** helpful to be able to group your most-used tools close to each other.

It would be great if I can change the order of the icons.

Is it possible to rearrange the icons in the toolbar? When i use 2 Windows of Goodnotes side-by-side, the laser pointer is out of sight when using the pen and vice versa. I would like to have the laser pointer next to the pen.

I don’t need the Camera or Text tools.

Absolutely necessary, this goes along nicely with adding more colors.
Thanks good-notes team!

It would be good to be able to customise the toolbar since I’m sure there are features that some of us don’t use and could use the space for something else.
- Toggle which icons appear in the toolbar. Personally I never use and will probably never use the in-app camera and presentation mode. It would be great if there was an option to just turn those off.
- Allow the option to have more colour and pen size presets. 3 isn’t enough!
- When the zoom window toolbar finally returns, it would be great to have the same level of customisation. -

I would like more customization options for the toolbar. For example, instead of having only three colors shown for the pen and then having to change those three colors, give the option to have more colors present at any given time. Same for highlighters. Another option would be to be able to have preset pens and highlighters present at all times.

You could let us choose which tools to add to the bar... So that we could easily find the more frequent tools we use and discard/ hie the ones we don’t.

Allow us to move around tools so we can pick the order they show, or whether they show at all. Just like many Mac apps allow toolbar customization.
This would also allow the option to show/hide other functionalities that have been requested but might not fit in toolbar. For example, if “search” were an optional toolbar item, then we could choose whether we want it to take up toolbar space.

I think it is essential that toolbar items’ locations must be changeable according to left hand or right hand users
It will give us faster writing and erasing opportunity
This feature will take GN5 one step higher than the others ;) -

I would like to be able to rearrange whats located on the tool bar and also choose what is shown on my toolbar. For example, in zoom mode with split screen on a 9.7 inch iPad the "tab" margin tools disappear but the advance tools stay. The margin tools are way more useful since I can move the zoom window with my finger and have auto advance on.

Having the undo and redo buttons in the top right is good, but it'd be great if I could flip them to the left side since I'm right handed and my left hand is free.
