Custom Page Names Instead of Only Page Numbers
Custom Page Names Instead of Only Page Numbers
I would love to have the option to assign custom names to individual pages, instead of displaying only page numbers.
Currently, pages can only be identified by their numbers, which makes it difficult to quickly find specific notes in larger notebooks. It would be much more convenient if users could give each page a custom title, such as “Meeting Notes”, “Chapter 3”, “Ideas”, or “To-Do”.
This feature would make navigation much faster and improve organization, especially for notebooks with many pages. It could work similarly to naming tabs or sections, while still…

Option to Hide undo/redo button
While writing down reference details of the contents being written in the notes, the undo/redo button often comes above it in the top right/left. Hiding it while using the gestures for undo/redo is a better option in this case.

Pen color inversion for dark backgrounds and export options
Feature request:
Hi GoodNotes team,
I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.
When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.
Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.
Suggested options:
Auto-invert pen color…

[Import] Vertical Auto Layout for PDF Import in Whiteboards
When importing a multi page PDF into a GoodNotes whiteboard, the pages are currently placed off to the right and arranged in a grid like layout. This forces users to manually reposition every page to create a readable top to bottom flow.
For large lecture PDFs or study materials, this manual reorganization is inefficient and time consuming.
A significant improvement would be an automatic vertical layout option where PDF pages are imported in a single straight column, stacked from top to bottom, similar to continuous scroll behavior. Ideally, this would be the default behavior, with an optional toggle to switch…

Increased Zoom Level for Pages
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I’m a medical student and have been using your wonderful app, including a paid subscription, for several years. Goodnotes has become one of my main study tools, and overall I’ve had a very positive experience with it.
However, my main issue has always been the limited maximum zoom level.
As a medical student, I often create very detailed pages containing multiple questions, explanations, diagrams, and summary tables all on one page. Because of this, some of the text can be quite small, and I often need to zoom in further to read it comfortably. Unfortunately, the current…

edit imported pdf
It would be great if you can edit imported pdfs directly in the app. Ex. if professors have mistake on slides it would be nice to be able to erase it rather than just scribbling on it, which just makes it look messy and takes up space on page unnecessarily

Theme Customization
Please introduce a theme customization feature in Goodnotes.
It would be great if users could personalize the app by selecting their own colors or applying themes from a theme store.
In addition to light and dark mode, please allow customization of the writing UI, menu colors, and background styles as well.3 votes -
practical classroom use
其實有得俾學生寫答案, 方便老師批改, 呢個需要只限疫情期間, 而家無呢個需要, 10個老師經歷過電子批改, 11都會prefer改實體, 我睇介紹時, 只係勾起我的惡夢
以下的建議最實際啱用
建議1. 可以做「電子工作紙」, 老師可加text box 或 options選項, 學生揀答案/打字, 自動批改答案, 老師可選擇是否即時讓學生看到答案, 而老師可即時看到誰對誰錯, 且即時有答對率等數據
建議2. 可以做埋 "draw it" 的功能, 老師可在一個畫面便看到所有學生(或起碼同時看到9個, 再可碌落去睇埋) 某一part/某一題的答案
建議3: 為方便我請學生加入我的notebook, 我直接send QR code / link 俾佢哋加入, 好方便, 讚! 但當我打開該notebook後, 按student list, 唔係跟alphabetical order, 好難check邊個入咗邊個未入, 可否有按alphabetical oder 這個功能?

To Do list
I have a master to do list, but often i'll be in another notebook and will create a to do item and write it on the side of the paper. i would like to be able to send that item to the master to do list, so i don't lose it in the many pages.

Add a built-in translation feature
Add a built-in translation feature that allows users to select any word, sentence, or paragraph and translate it directly in Goodnotes, especially when studying PDF files. This would be very helpful for students and would save us from switching between Goodnotes and other translation apps.

Please Add an Exact-Match Search Function
I would like Goodnotes to support exact-match searches.
More specifically, I would like the search function to be designed with dictionary-like use in mind, such as extracting only the relevant pages containing a specific term from textbooks imported into Goodnotes.
Currently, for example, searching for “cisplatin” may return results containing unrelated words such as “amyloidosis,” which makes the search function difficult to use.
This happens consistently when searching Japanese text and is extremely inconvenient.

Add right margin to PDF for annotations
This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

I don't want to use obsidian notes for my programming notes, i want to use goodnote, please support stem student.
This is what makes goodnote useless to STEM students and engineers.
No Code Formatting: Lacks dedicated code snippet boxes or syntax highlighting, meaning you must paste code as flat images or screenshots.
Less Copy-Paste Utility: You cannot easily copy text out of a handwritten note into your IDE
plus latex style formatting,
connecting chatgpt and claude. goodnotes ai was a good idea, but it's not fully matured as well as the plugin for goodnotes and chatgpt. it's not functional.i love goodnote

High resolution JPEG image export for Whiteboard
I love the new whiteboard feature, but it seems that it has been built without exporting in mind with the only option to export still being a PDF file. This makes it impossible to export most whiteboards without losing quality, and making large whiteboards unreadable. Similar to Microsoft whiteboard, it would be fantastic if there was the option for a high resolution JPEG image export feature to complement the new update. Thank you!

Presenter notes not mirrored onto an externally connected screen
Ich wünsche mir eine Erweiterung der bereits vorhandenen gelben Haftnotizen (“Sticky Notes”) um eine Option, mit der diese Notizzettel – inklusive ihres Inhalts – nicht auf einen extern angeschlossenen Bildschirm oder Beamer gespiegelt werden.
Anwendungsfall:
Beim Präsentieren oder Unterrichten über einen externen Monitor/Beamer möchte ich mir private Notizen, Stichpunkte oder Erinnerungen auf einem Sticky Note direkt auf meinem eigenen Gerät (iPad) machen können, ohne dass diese für das Publikum auf der Leinwand sichtbar sind – ähnlich wie ein “Presenter-Notizen”-Modus, wie man ihn z. B. aus PowerPoint kennt.Gewünschtes Verhalten:
…• Der Notizzettel bleibt auf dem eigenen Gerät sichtbar und bearbeitbar.1 vote -
Manual rotation/pivot of pages
Personally, I can only really use GoodNotes when it is the only app on my screen, because my normal writing habit for paper is to have the paper at between a 40 and 60 degree angle.
When I am only writing with GoodNotes, I can turn my whole iPad (which is challenging when traveling on a train but still possible). If I have multiple windows open for references, though, it makes this especially challenging and causes my wrist to hurt very quickly. My husband who is left handed also turns his paper the other way out of habit, and cannot…
