Hi GoodNotes team,

I use GoodNotes heavily for planning and note-taking, and I’ve noticed a frustrating inconsistency with shapes.

When I draw an oval using the Pen tool with “draw & hold” (auto-shape), it sometimes snaps into place at an angle. However, when I select it, there’s no rotate handle or rotate option—so I can’t straighten it without deleting and redrawing.

In contrast, an oval created with the Shape tool does include a rotate handle. This results in two shapes that look identical but behave very differently, which can be confusing during fast daily use.

Feature request:
• Please add a rotation handle (or rotate option) for “draw & hold” auto-shapes created with the Pen tool, or
• Add a universal Transform tool (move/resize/rotate) that can rotate any selected element, including ink strokes and auto-shapes.

Related request (Lasso improvements):
It would also be extremely helpful if the Lasso tool had more robust selection filtering options, such as:
• Select ink only
• Select typed text only
• Select handwriting only
• Select shapes only
• Select images/stickers only

This would make it easier to adjust or copy drawn markings (like circles around times) without accidentally selecting the text underneath.

These improvements would make planning and annotation much smoother, especially when working quickly.

Thanks for considering!
