Please, GoodNotes developers, for Pete's sake. We're paying customers and you *still* haven't fixed this basic design flaw.

Also, your "for now" solution is *not* a solution. It's a terrible approach, almost like you're saying it be a feature not a bug. You've invested in AI (no doubt to spy on people's documents and steal our ideas). Why can you not deal with this with a simple ticket that would take max 2–4 hours (development+review+deployment)?

When you have folders within other folders to better organize notes, it becomes incredibly tedious to have to backtrack through previous folders to get to different ones. It would be much quicker if there was a sidebar that displayed the different folders so that its more seamless to navigate between folders/documents.

The iPad files app has a tree view for folders that is incredibly handy. Introducing something like that to goodnotes would make managing notes a lot easier

The folder organization will be better as expandable list structure like on MacOS or MS OneNote.
So it would be possible to see folder and underfolder.

I don't get why this was suggested in 2013 and it is not yet done! It would make the App much more convenient... I'm considering switching to Sorted, because of that. Couldn't we have the choice between different options? On my Mac, I can choose to view my files in the Folder in a list, in columns or as a gallery. This is so much more convenient!

This is critical for students in fast-paced and large lectures e.g. medicine or science undergrad w 100 slides per 1 hour lecture. It is killing my hand to be limited solely to swiping to progress through slides on goodnotes.

With the implementation of a side bar it would allow simply tapping on the next page to expedite progression through pages. Clicking the page grid is too slow, and swiping up/down is too slow and repetitive for joints/fingertips.

Lets go I've had this app thru undergrad, please provide this feature before i graduate medical school :P

Column view is NEEDED! I like the features of Goodnotes, but it feels unorganized in general. List View and icon view are great if you're only dealing with Photos, but most of the time we are dealing with Files, and files need to be moved, edited, duplicated and opened and closed on the fly.

Couldn't agree more with all of the points already mentioned. I feel this is an essential feature to make folder and file navigation efficient.

Yes, that would be incredibly useful!

I often use my notes from previous semesters and I generally switch between my folder systems all the time....

A side(?)bar that allows you to navigate to other folders and documents quickly instead of having to go back through every folder manually with the back button.

Yes! Organization is one thing that goodnotes is lacking. I would love love for it to ve more organized like notability. It’s the only reason I prefer using notability more, when goodnotes is better in every other way.

Completely agree!

The sidebar on GoodNotes for Mac is pretty useless. It's a total waste of screen real estate. The three options could easily be tabs or buttons somewhere else.

We need a REAL sidebar! Why can't I drag folders to the big vast empty sidebar for shortcuts?

I love GoodNotes, but the Mac version is super frustrating to use. The number of unnecessary clicks makes it a chore. Moving documents is a clunky PITA. Adding the ability to place folders in the sidebar would make a huge difference!

I'd really like for the sidebar to function as a proper file browser, but I'd settle for even simpler functionality.

It would be so much easier to maneuver between notes if there was a sidebar present at the side (that you could hide/show so as not to impede on work flow) and it would show all your folders and the notes in the corresponding folders.

So if you needed a specific document all you have to do is tap the side or swipe left and you'll find all your folders ready to go! bam bam bam!

Please! I was about to buy it but I'm looking for something with a "table of contents" instead of a file explorer.

I love GoodNotes and am, overall, very happy with it. I have a lot of documents stored in GoodNotes and would love a column view as well. Column view is the fastest, most efficient way to browse a folder hierarchy. Please please please add it. Thank you!

I switched to GoodNotes for its stability, but I just can’t stand it’s organization. Please add this or at least give a choice.

When browsing my documents, it’s sometimes much easier to see a tree view with plus and minus signs for expand and collapse.
This is especially true for a deep structure trees

Sidebar Favorites Drop Down

Please make it to where, at least on GoodNotes for Mac, the Favorites selection in the sidebar drops down into a tree. This way, we can quickly access those favorites and/or drag files from one folder, directly into a favorited folder.

Ability to see all documents on one screen - even ones embedded in folders
