[Sep 2025 Launch] New Toolbar Suggestions
Thread for feedback on the new toolbar.
Feel free to share any bugs or suggestions for improvement regarding the updated toolbar.452 votesHello! We’re excited to let you know that we’ve updated the Text tool and introduced a new dedicated floating menu for text boxes, including more customization options.
One of the new tools is Pin Text Tool — when enabled, it keeps the Text tool active so you can create multiple text boxes continuously without having to reselect it each time.
This is especially helpful when you're focused on adding or adjusting text in your notes. The pin will automatically turn off once you switch to another tool.
Feel free to try it out and let us know how it works for you!
This improvement is available in the latest Apple update.

[New tool] Post-it Tabs
One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.
Whilst good notes…

Hide Floating toolbar!
I do not prefer the floating toolbar idea!
Why do you need two toolbars — One floating and one fixed? It reduces useful reading or writing space.
Need an option back to hide the floating toolbar and reclaim space.
UI elements are not supposed to be the focus, content is.
This inability to hide the added floating toolbar is causing me to not use the app at all!

Image Borders, Shadows
Just a simple toggle to add/remove a border from an image. A collage of screen caps and images looks very disorganized without defined edges. This is the single most important request, please implement as soon as possible thank you.

The worst update ever
There are so many things that became inconvenient after this update. Here are just a few examples.
- The line spacing I saved as a default isn't applied when typing in a new text box.
- The toolbox sticks right next to the text box and blocks the background.
- Changing fonts or line spacing got much complicated.(especially line spacing, which now takes several steps.)
- After typing in a text box, it automatically deselects and switches to the lasso tool.
These are only some of the issues. The previous UI was more efficient and comfortable to work with. Please fix the bugs and…

Revert to old UI!!!
Please go back to the most previous UI. This new UI though more simplified, is more tedious to work with. I like the implementation of when you copy a photo, it directly sizes it from a corner instead of proportionally sizing everything. However, once you click off that image, you have to go back to the pen which wastes time during fast lectures.
The new text box interaction is also tedious since you have to hold down and click ‘start editing’ instead of just clicking a button to text on the whole page. And if you do just a small…24 votes -
Eraser in writing tools
Updates have been occurring too frequently to the toolbar. The eraser should be in the floating toolbar with writing tools. I prefer consistency, I take a lot of notes and want things to be where I expect.

Remove background
The tool similar to the one they have on word ( either the remove background, or set to transparent tool) for images… because I love to make aesthetic notes and it is so time consuming having to manually remove the background on images of third party tools and then import them into my notes

Tool bar
The new tool bar is killing me. My notes are taking longer because I have to do more taps to get to the tool I want. the highlighter won't highlight straight anymore. Also, the shape tool has its own colors that don't match my chosen pen presents anymore. Please please fix the straight line tool. I can't draw charts or get an actual straight line without using the ruler which adds more steps to my process. Lastly, the computer version now DOESN'T have an undo button, you have to go up to the top, press edit, then undo instead of…

After using lasso tool, put it back to pen tools.
Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.

Typing Feature in Toolbar
Please bring back the typing tool in handwritten documents as a separate button in the toolbar.
Also, please fix the overlapping of the typing “toolbar” with the title when typing.10 votes -
Make it quicker again
Goodnotes has become more cumbersome and slower with the latest update. I now need two clicks to switch between pens and the laser pointer. When I have images, there is now always a white border at the top of the projection, and I first have to switch to read-only mode to display the image in full screen.
The fold-out toolbox also takes up space on the screen.
Adding to favorites also requires one more click.
The updates have only increased the amount of work involved and represent a deterioration. On the other hand, I don't need AI or sound recordings.…11 votes -
Shape tool is not as good as before
Shape tool has become worse than goodnotes 6. Earlier we could draw any shape by drawing and holding the shape but now it converts every weird shape into a perfect shape line like square, rectangle or star
Just make it as flexible as goodnotes 6 shape tool10 votes -
Reinstitute object selection toggle
Please put the object selection toggle back. When a writing tool, I do not want to select an image without purposely using the lasso tool. It makes writing on images difficult.

Please provide an option of switching back to this previous toolbar layout. I really like this layout and think it's easier to use.
