Hello Goodnotes Team,

I am a long-time user who deeply enjoys using Goodnotes for taking notes and organizing documents.

I am writing to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the user experience.

Other note-taking apps (such as Flexcil) offer a Layer feature, which allows users to separate handwritten notes, text boxes, and imported images/PDF files. In Goodnotes, however, the lack of layers makes it quite inconvenient when working with overlapping elements.

Currently, when I write over an inserted image or pasted document, trying to select or edit only the handwriting often results in accidentally moving or selecting the image underneath. To avoid this, I have to manage handwritten notes and pasted files separately, which significantly slows down my workflow.

If Goodnotes could introduce Layer support (or a Feature to Lock/Separate images and pen strokes), it would solve these conflicts and drastically improve productivity for many users.

I sincerely hope the development team considers adding layer support in a future update.

Thank you for your hard work and continuous improvement!

Best regards,
