Table Function
It would be really cool if we had a button again in the Windows version that you could click on and, like with the keyboard, click somewhere and a table would appear. After that, you can write in it, and if you need more lines/columns, you can press a small plus sign.However, there could also be a small window that appears beforehand when you click on the table icon, where you can select which layout you want.

Native table feature with directly typeable text fields
Currently, there’s no way to insert a real table in GoodNotes that you can type into directly with the keyboard — like you can in Apple Notes, for example. Right now you either have to draw the table entirely by hand (lines/shapes) and then place individual text fields for each cell, or import a finished table from Word/Excel as a PDF and overlay text fields on top of that as well. Both approaches are cumbersome, especially for larger tables.
It would be great if GoodNotes could add a native “Insert Table” feature where you set the number of rows and…

"Bold" Highlighter
I would love to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool. Instead of adding a fluorescent background color, it would be amazing to have a specific highlighter that simply makes the selected text (handwritten or typed) bold.
This would be incredibly useful for emphasizing certain words or sentences cleanly, without cluttering the page with too many bright colors. It would keep notes looking professional and easy to read. Thank you for considering!

Improve Tape tool cursor for better precision
Currently, the mouse cursor for the Tape tool is a round circle. This makes it very difficult to see exactly where the tape starts and ends. Please change the cursor to a narrow vertical line or a standard mouse pointer instead. This would allow for much more precise taping.

Bring Back "command" + "+" for Zoom in and "Command" + "-" for Zoom out
Please bring back the 'Command +' and 'Command -' keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out. I rely on mouse shortcuts for my workflow; without these, I am forced to use the trackpad, which significantly slows down my efficiency.

[Highlighter] Automatically Set Highlighter to Back Layer
I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.

[Toolbar] Floating Formatting Toolbar Blocks Content
The floating text formatting toolbar covers content above the text box, making it difficult to read or present PDFs while typing. This is especially disruptive during screen sharing or teaching sessions. The user prefers the previous toolbar placement or an option to choose between the old and new layouts.

After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

Tape
Be able to remove tape in the entire deck with one button rather than for a page because when exporting I don’t want the tape, or a button to export without tape

Adding a blank note page next to a document page for side by side annotations
WHY?
• Ability to take notes next to slides without covering the original text
• Margin notes feature for clean PDF reading and studying
• Add extra padding/whitespace around documents for annotations
• No need to split screen2 votes -
More Line Preset Slots
I would like to be able to have more slots to add different preset lines. Right now, there is only 3 and I need more so that I can have one dedicated to dotted lines as well as different widths because I do not want to sacrifice the three I already have.

Advanced Editing for Images and Elements
I really like the feature that allows you to align Images and Elements with fixpoints that already are on a document.
The next evolution of this feature I'd really like to see would be the possibility to select wether you want and Image or a section of selected handwriting to respond to said fixpoints.
Sometimes when editing handwritten Text in a Document where you inserted a picture it is quite hard if not impossible to align it when it respons to a fixpoint.
A on of switch for the selected text or image or whatever to be able to deselect…2 votes -
Long-press Apple Pencil to temporarily switch to eraser
I'd like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes: when using Apple Pencil, long-pressing on the screen for a configurable duration (around 0.1–0.5s) would temporarily switch the tool to an eraser. The eraser would remain active until the pencil is lifted off the screen, after which it would automatically revert to the previous tool.
This would make erasing mistakes much faster and more convenient than double-tapping the pencil to toggle between pen and eraser, since it eliminates the back-and-forth switching and keeps the workflow smooth and uninterrupted.
Ideally, the long-press duration could be adjustable in settings to suit different users'…

OneNote has Glitter inks and a rainbow pen - as they exist, would it be possible to add them to GoodNotes?

Pencil strokes
A refinement on how to Pencil looks. Idk but it doesn’t look like a pencil sometimes. Looks like a dot of dots just put together.

[Fountain Pen] Improvements
The good notes fountain pen does not write how a fountain pen should. A fountain pen has a metal nib that creates thin cross strokes and wide down strokes. The pen in good notes is the opposite with wide side strokes and thin down strokes. The apple notes fountain pen is perfect in recreating the look of an actual fountain pen. This is the only reason I have to stay with apple notes. The pen interface is the most important for me. Otherwise, I would use good notes.

Colour bucket fill
Add a bucket tool to fill colour into hand draw complex images, so for people who have to hand draw their own images easier. Don’t have to colour the whole thing bit by bit and way and for more accuracy.

[Lock object] Prevent image from being selected
It’s frustrating because whenever I try to write notes over an attached image, the image keeps getting selected instead. Even with the "lock" feature enabled, it only prevents the image from moving; I can't find any way to stop it from being selected. I seem to recall there used to be a specific setting for image objects in the document options—did that get removed? I can't seem to find it anymore. Please bring it back!

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.

Support text-based PDF highlighting & add rectangular PDF text highlight
There should be an option to be able to highlight the pdf text in the highlighter color you have selected. Similar to how you long press on a word and it selects, it should highlight, that way its much cleaner and easier on laptops to use. It should be in a rectangular highlighter shape. This feature is available in notability and is really urging me to switch.
