Transparency on sticky notes
Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!

Add a way to delete downloaded whiteboard templates from marketplace
You can repeatedly download whiteboard templates for some reason which caused my “imported from marketplace” section to be spammed with the same few templates. Would be great to have a way to delete them

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…

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.

Exporting Whiteboard “Scenes” to Standard Pages
Hey so as a computer engineer student i love the whiteboards tool as it feels like writing on a piece of paper and is good for solving problems. I think maybe having something called scenes on whiteboards. For example, if I do homework and I solve it, but its alot i feel like you should be able to export a standard size paper so it's not all on one page, maybe front and back, and it's at a decent size on the page. kinda like stealing the idea from the freeform app.

Batch Rename and Customizable Naming Rules for Whiteboards/Notebooks
Currently, when creating new Whiteboards or notebooks, the default naming convention is "Whiteboard 1, 2, 3...". For students who need to organize notes by specific identifiers—such as "Q1, Q2" for exam problems—manually renaming each file is extremely tedious and inefficient.
I would like to suggest two improvements to the workflow:
Batch Rename Feature: Implement a feature similar to the "Rename" tool in macOS Finder, allowing users to select multiple files and apply a consistent naming rule (replace text, add prefixes/suffixes, or use sequential numbering).
Customizable Default Naming: Allow users to change the default prefix. For example, being able to change…

automatically move to end of a notebook on open
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.

For Example:

"Destress" & Mindfulness Templates
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…

Auto-add date and folder name when creating new files
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.7 votes -
Number notebooks automatically/ Index
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.

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…

More Whiteboard Characters!
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.

text document
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!

Margin
In freenotes there is a feature to expand the pdf page (one side or both) this enable the user to write extra notes in the same page of the pdf side by side rather than one extra page (before or after). I found that page expansion very easy to use and helpful as it give me my notes in the same page and i dont need to shuffle around. Please add this feature in goodnotes as well
