  2. It would be great to have a setting that would cause the notebook to open to the last page. I use my notebooks to study and take notes on books I read, so each notebook has more then a few pages.

  3. Create a PM/To Do Management template that has the ability to create custom fields with dropdown lists.

    For Example:

    Auto Date Created

    PM/To Do Name - Conduct Ongoing Training

    Assigned To <Multi Picklist & Drop Down Options of names we created in settings) - It would also be great to be able to assign this to people in a MS Exchange Server or Slack Server (we use both)

    Note: We need to identify training refresher topics.

    Due Date: Optional field that can integrate back to MS Exchange Calendar, Outlook 365 calendar, Thunderbird calendar, and Google.

    Status: Dropdown of predefined fields…

  6. Since we already have our screens and pencils out for studying, what if GoodNotes added a default category of "Destress" notebook templates?

    Instead of just blank or lined paper, these would be templates designed specifically for taking a quick 5-minute mental break. As someone who loves art and sketching to unwind, I think having these built right into the app would be incredibly helpful for student mental health.

    Some ideas for the templates could be:

    • Pages with geometric patterns, overlapping circles, or simple designs to just colour in

    • Shapes to trace or simple drawing prompts to get your mind off…

  7. It would be really helpful if, when creating a new notebook or whiteboard, GoodNotes could automatically include the current date (e.g. “September 1, 2025”) and optionally the name of the folder (e.g. “NameFolder – September 1, 2025”) in the file name.
    This would greatly improve file organization, especially for users who create many documents daily (like teachers) and want to keep everything tidy without having to rename files manually.

  8. The option to add page numbers to the notebook in a selected font/size and to also add an Index/ Table of Contents that shows up within the document. Similar to how it is in word or other word processing Programs, just a bit simplified.

    Basically the option to add the "outline" as a "table of contents page" within the note book and to show numbers on each page correspondingly.

  9. I'm always running out of characters in my whiteboard. I love the infinity page for studying for big concepts or exams but I hit the character limit every time I study. Please please allow for more writing so that the warning stops getting in the way. Please make the infinity board actually infinite - It would be life changing. Sincerely, a chemistry student.

  10. I love the idea of the text document, it creates a notetaking ability that is similar to one note. However, I would love for there to be more customization (font, spacing, drawing, etc) within this feature. ALSO I would love to be able to create class notebooks in which they are text document format but there is a separate menu within the notebook for each page. This was I can separate my notebooks by unit!

  11. There is no feature of changing page templates all together,we have to change separately,this is annoying.Another thing is that pdf quality can't be determined,if there will be option for changing quality of extracted pdf, it will be more good,
    And please add a calculator in the app.During extraction of pdf,page range should be added.

  13. I wish we could give the whiteboards covers instead of the zoomed out version of the whole whiteboard. It would make organizing my different boards so much easier.

  14. This will either be a new document or a revised version of the whiteboard.

    It would be an amazing feature if there is an infinite whiteboard like space that you can navigate on by clicking and holding the middle mouse button making it easier to plan with Goodnotes.

  15. I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

  16. Instead of having to colour in drawings or shapes by hand (which is time consuming and sometimes difficult), being able to drag a colour of you choosing to fill inside a shape would be amazing! They have this feature on Procreate and it saves so much time and stress. I would love this to be added to Goodnotes too!

  17. Subject: Feedback and Feature Requests for Goodnotes 6 Improvements
    1. Text Tool Enhancements

    Text Input Issues: Since upgrading to Goodnotes 6, typing has become frustrating. When clicking to type, the app often selects the entire PDF text block instead of placing a cursor. Please allow users to tap anywhere to start typing immediately without triggering existing text blocks. Currently, it's particularly difficult with a mouse or finger compared to the Apple Pencil.

    Custom Text Styles: Currently, only one default style can be saved. Please allow users to create and save multiple custom text presets. Additionally, include letter spacing (kerning) as…

  19. It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
    • Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
    • Rewatch how notes were created step by step
    • Create educational content or revision videos directly within the app

    Such a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.

    I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuously…

  20. I really like the Idea of a coloration Tab or planning tab. So that I can give myself tasks with deadlines, have a calender for exams etc.
    If I then could invite people to join my project where I can assign tasks like in other Apps (see notion, microsoft teams or asana).
    All in all I want a feature where I cannot only work but plan and get reminded for my work without using a second app.
