Rounded corners on shapes
There should be an option to draw shapes with rounded corners added to the new stroke settings similar to the ability to draw dashed and dotted lines and arrows heads. This idea was posted 2 other times back in 2020 but has not been addressed or updated.

[Whiteboard] Allow Custom Background Colors for Whiteboards
When I choose the background color of a whiteboard, I would like to have the possibility to choose a custom color instead of the three colors available now (white, yellow, black). It would be great if it worked in the same way of choosing the background color of notebooks. Thanks.

Suggestion about adding an widget option in side bar.
I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.2 votes -
Variable Page Length
Allow pages to be variable length so that ideas and content can be organized and not limited to print sizes. I use the cornell notes template, and often use the que and summary section to cram in more notes of similar ideas to keep it all together, which is counterproductive in a digital format. Google Docs has pageless scrolling, which is similar, but I do like the notebook format of page breaks when I want a new concept/idea.

Add OCR and Live Text Features to GoodNotes
I often import lecture PDF files into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. In many cases, professors or instructors provide materials as text-based PDFs. However, there are also many situations where the files have been converted from PDF → image → PDF, making the text unselectable and turning the entire document into an image.
When a document is image-based, tasks such as translating the content, searching for unfamiliar terms on the web, or asking GoodNotes AI questions about specific text become difficult. Currently, GoodNotes AI’s OCR capabilities for image-based documents are quite limited, and it sometimes misrecognizes text or…

Whiteboard mode
Hi,
I’m using a lot goodnotes for math textbook etc…
And when reading those books I create whiteboard for each book wich becomes very messy with time and this is my idea. When the use wants to have a « whiteboard » for the current textbook it creates a whiteboard attached to the book and you can access it only by the book1 vote -
Half-Page Turn
I Guarantee you this will make your app 3x more appealing to performing musicians. I use Goodnotes for ALL my score studying but I always need to export to Piascore or Forscore for my performances just because of their half-page turn feature. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now but the jumping between apps has becoming really tiring. I’m begging you, please add this feature to the read mode.

Drag and Drop from PDFs to notebook while removing background
While in split screen, it would be very useful if we were able to drag and drop images between windows as a PNG. For example, if I’m reading a neuroscience PDF textbook, i want to be able to click and hold a diagram, drag it to my notebook page, and drop it without the white background. Currently, you can only copy-paste screenshots. We should be able to remove the background. other apps can do this and I would rather it be in goodnotes.

Image lock failure
You completed the image lock. Yay!
Unfortunately once an image is locked, I cannot use the links programmed into the base document that are behind the image. Added links can be layered on top but the base document cannot be altered.1 vote -
Diary function
Please refer to diary apps such as Day One.
・Since I use it for diary purposes, I would be happy if a notebook function specialized for diaries was added in the future. If a function like a map database is added, it would be great if there is a mechanism that can record location information.
・I want a function like an album by tagging notes and images.
・If there is a calendar function that can be checked back on a date basis, I think it will be very attractive as a diary.
・There are a ridiculous number of notebooks in…

Use page names rather than page numbers when creating links
When we create a link to another page within our documents we currently have to specify by page number. For documents with many pages it's not helpful having to remember which page has what information.
All the pages can be renamed, so it would make sense if those names were displayed in addition to the page number.
That would allow a quick way of identifying and linking to a specific page.
The thumbnails that do show are often far too small to allow you to see the page's content.

[Import] Add File Replace Option When Importing Files with the Same Name
Feature Request: Add File Replace Option When Importing Files with the Same Name
When importing a file with the same name, GoodNotes currently brings it in as a new document and renames it as “filename 2.”
However, sometimes instead of importing it as a new document, it would be better to overwrite/replace the existing file.When the file being imported has the same name as an existing file, it would be great if a prompt appeared asking whether the user wants to:
Overwrite the existing file,
Import as a new file, or
Cancel the import.
Adding this overwrite option would…

8-shaped selection for multi-page PDF export (Whiteboard & Notebooks)
When exporting a large selected area as a PDF, handwriting often becomes pixelated or blurry.
It would be helpful if users could draw an “8” shape with the selection tool to divide the selected area into multiple regions. The intersection of the “8” could act as a separator, allowing Goodnotes to automatically export the content as multiple PDF pages (two or more, depending on the gesture).
This feature could work on both Whiteboard and Notebook pages, making it easier to export large handwritten notes while keeping the text quality high.

Drop down arrow for color palette
Instead of having the colors set up like Option 1, where we have to scroll left and right to find our colors, can y’all make a feature like the example in Option 2? In this version, the color we’re using would be selected, and if we want to see all our colors or change the color, all we have to do is click the drop-down arrow and the rest of our colors will appear. That way, we can have as many color options as we want without having to scroll left and right to find them.

Upgrade GoodNotes 5
Hi!
I’m a student still using GoodNotes 5 and I really love it. ❤️
Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to upgrade to GoodNotes 6, so I kindly ask if you could add a few small updates to version 5 — like more pen settings or simple improvements. Nothing big, just small things to help students like me.
Thank you so much for your amazing app! 🙏✨2 votes -
Hint
I would love to see a hint option added to the study cards. I believe it would add to the effectiveness of the memorizing process for many of us. Sometimes I just need a word or two to get me pointed in the right direction.

margins
Please make the templates editable. For example I like a margin but I find it's too wide. I'd like the templates to be editable such that you can have a smaller or larger margin as needed.

Import PDF as a study set
There are multiple ways of doing this:
(A) Chop each page in half: top half becomes the ‘image’ for question, bottom half becomes the ‘image’ for answer.
(B) Two pages per flashcard, one for question and one for answer (maybe do this if pdf is in landscape mode).This would be immensely helpful as currently you can only import text, which is an issue if your flash cards have diagrams or render LaTeX.
