I request the reintroduction of a feature or an option to enable
"Continuous Placement Mode"
for the Elements tool.Select the Element Tool.Tap on an element(sticker, image, textbox.)
from the Elements bar.The tool should remain active, allowing the user to tap repeatedly on the canvas to place the selected element multiple times until a different tool is selected (e.g., Pen, Lasso).

When using sticky notes, it is inconvenient that the user name is displayed automatically.
When using sticky notes, it is inconvenient that the user name is displayed automatically.
While showing names can be helpful during collaboration with two or more people on a shared document, it becomes distracting when the document is used individually. I often use sticky notes like Post-it notes for personal annotations and quick notes, and in this case, the automatic display of my name feels unnecessary and disruptive.
It would be very helpful to have an option to toggle the automatic display of names on or off, depending on whether the document is being used collaboratively or individually.

Add Auto-Snapback to Pen After Highlighting
Just how once you’re done erasing it goes right back to the pencil so I can write. I think this would also be useful if it did the same thing for highlighting. Every time I have to highlight and it doesn’t go back to the pencil I waste more time going back to erase what I highlighted on my page because i Though I was using the pen tool

Backup for Pen/highlight Colors
I recently had to delete and re-download the app because of a bug issue and lost all of my saved colors. It would be awesome if there is a way to save or back up pen and highlight colors so that you don’t have to reprogram them when re-downloading the app.

Lack of snapping and reference points when using shapes
Hi everyone,
I’d like to report a limitation I’ve noticed when working with shapes in Goodnotes and ask if others feel the same.When drawing or editing shapes such as circles, squares, and lines, there is currently no snapping or anchoring system. This makes it difficult to align shapes precisely or connect them to each other.
In particular:
There are no visible reference points (such as center points, midpoints, or edge anchors).
It’s hard to find the exact center of a circle or square.
Aligning shapes or connecting lines to other shapes requires a lot of manual adjustment and is…

Undo/Redo Buttons
Please bring back the undo and redo buttons in the macOS version of Goodnotes. It is dearly missed by this teacher that uses Goodnotes for instruction.

Toolbar Default Pen Setting
"Currently, Goodnotes does not have a specific feature that automatically sets the toolbar to start on the Pen tool when switching between files. The Pen tool is the first tool in the Handwriting Toolbar and can be selected manually, but the app does not remember or default to the Pen tool automatically upon file switching," Goodnotes Support.
It would be great if a toolbar customization update allowed you to make the pen feature the default tool when switching between documents instead of the lasso.

Toggle that allows a Shaded Shape Without Outline
Please bring back the ability to erase the outline while keeping the shaded fill after using the “hold to perfect shape” feature. It was super useful for creating clean shaded boxes and diagrams. A toggle to separate fill and outline would be amazing!

Screenshot
Each newest verion of the app makes things worse and worse. Before this latest update if you selected the lasso tool and had handwriting seletion off when you took a screenshot the handwriting would be omitted from the screenshot. Now even with handwriting seleted off you take a screenshot and it includes the handwriting. What is the point of not selecting handwriting if it is still showing in the screenshot?
If I hadn't spent $30 and had years of notes for school, I would switch apps. I am so disapointed with what this app has become. They're just pushing AI…

Customizable Lasso Toolbar / Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Customizable Lasso Toolbar
When using the Lasso Tool, I would love the option to customize the toolbar that appears after selecting content. Specifically, it would be great if actions like Copy could be placed directly on the toolbar instead of being hidden behind the three-dot menu, allowing users to choose which tools appear there.
Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Currently, duplicated text can only be moved to the next page after it has been placed and selected again with the Lasso Tool. It would be much more efficient if duplicated text could be moved to the next page…

Add a toggle for quick selection
Quick selection is clunky and gets in the way. The tool doesn’t do layers well so realistically tapping on an object never works for me. I remember this being an option in GoodNotes 5, where I can disable click to select different objects (universal selection?) and that really simplified things for me. I’m not sure why that option is taken away.

Non-Deletable Handwriting
I need a feature in GoodNotes that allows certain handwritten text to remain undeletable, even when I use the page delete function.
When I solve the same workbook multiple times, I mark whether I got each question right or wrong. The problem is that when I use the page delete function to clear my messy work and keep only those markings, the previous right/wrong marks get deleted as well, which is inconvenient.

Enhanced Text Formatting for Flashcard Learning Resources
Would it be possible to enable richer text formatting within the text fields of the flashcard learning resources?
Currently, the flashcards do not support advanced formatting options such as text colors, font variations, or styled layouts—features that are available in regular text documents within GoodNotes.Allowing users to customize text with colors, font styles, and structured formatting would greatly enhance clarity and memorization, especially for students who rely on visual organization in their study materials.

Frustrating UI decisions and unaddressed bugs since Version 7
Text Selection Bug: This issue has persisted since Version 7. When I long-press to select text and then interact with another function, I cannot simply tap once to deselect/cancel the selection. I am forced to select a different character first before I can click to cancel. I expected this to be fixed after multiple updates, but it hasn't been addressed.
Pen & Lasso Tool Placement: Hundreds of users have pointed out the issue with the Pen tool not being accessible alongside the Lasso tool. Does the development team not realize these two are frequently used together? If you need to…

Small sticker option
When using stickers, I would like to make them small as they are then the right size if using them regularly, but the quality reduces so significantly this isn’t possible, and I have to resize them every time, which is time consuming, and the inconsistency in sizing is annoying. If there was a way to increase the quality it would be great.

Full Color Palette Display in Highlighting
I love the new update but it has been less efficient because of the color palette for highlighters not in full display. Scrolling in switching colors has been a hassle while studying. In the next update, please bring back the full color palette display but do keep the floating function tool.

Animated GIF Support
It would be amazing to have this feature as it's the only thing keeping me from using GoodNotes and not Notability. I'd switch to GoodNotes in a heartbeat if GIFs were supported. Please make it a thing! 🙏
