[Palm Gestures] Disable Palm Gestures

Please introduce the possibility of palm gesture removal since the palm detection doesn't work properly when the iPad is used horizontally.
When we write on an imported picture, every time the palm touches the screen, GoodNotes switches to the lasso tool, and it's kinda annoying.
This feature is always on even if the iPad settings say to ignore the palm.

    DISABLE this feature, please. Its undoing a lot of things when I put my hand over the screen.

    Hello! With the addition of the new gestures (double tap with 2 fingers to undo, double tap with 3 fingers to redo), I keep accidentally activating the "undo" gesture when my hand is just resting on the screen while I'm writing, which is frustrating when I'm trying to keep up with quick notetaking. Is there any way to add an option to disable the tap gestures? Thank you so much!

    (For reference I have an iPad 6th with Apple Pencil 1st Gen)

    Due to the double two finger tap to undo feature, my work constantly gets undone accidentally by gestures such as laying my palm on the screen.
    I often realise this after I have continued my work so I can no longer redo the lost work.
    Redo with 3 finger double tap does not work AT ALL and usually prompts the confusing actions selection bar (what just happened?) or another undo.
    I understand some users make use of this feature while some experience the same issues so please let users switch shortcut on/off

    Rather than a palm rest, what do you all think about just the ability to move the paper higher? I'm with you, it is difficult to write near the bottom of the page and I used the palm rest in GN 4 all the time.

    Having the same problem and even enabling palm rejection sometimes the window zooms or moves.

    Add a palm rest option to GoodNotes 5 like there was in GoodNotes 4. It makes it a lot easier to make notes on my iPad, especially when getting towards the bottom of the screen where there is no option to move the paper higher so I can rest my hand on the screen. It's very hard to write with my hand held in the air trying to balance on the edge of the iPad. Hope what I've described makes sense.

    iOS does not allow this. Only in the iOS settings the multitasking gestures can be enabled or disabled.

    Lately when resting my palm while writing, the multitasking gestures come up mistakenly making very difficult to use GoodNotes. Please, add an option in the settings for GoodNotes so that it disables them while running on top.

    The palm rejection feature doesn't not work well if I set multi-gesturing function on my iPad. It would be nice if you can make a pop up window asking the users whether they want to turn off multi-gesturing feature when using Goodnote
