Folder Sharing
Feature Request: Shared Folder Collaboration with Real-Time Updates
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I am a teacher who relies on GoodNotes daily for lesson planning, organizing resources, and collaborating with colleagues. While I truly appreciate the powerful tools GoodNotes offers for handwriting and annotation with the Apple Pencil, there is one feature that would greatly improve collaboration for educators:
The ability to share entire folders with colleagues so that multiple users can:
Add new documents to a shared folder.
Write on and annotate shared documents using the Apple Pencil.
View and access changes in real time, including edits, new notes, or added…

Duplicate a folder
You can duplicate a file but you cant duplicate a folder. I create template folders and it would be useful to duplicate the master folder.

Locking Objects
Need to be able to lock individual items. In planners sometimes the layout itself is a sticker. Need to lock that so I can move the stickers above without the bottom one moving.
819 votesThanks for your suggestion! We’re happy to share that we’ll be introducing the ability to lock objects very soon.
We’ll keep you posted once it goes live.
Stay tuned for app updates and announcements!

[Animations] Reduce opening animation time for folders and sidebars
GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders. Instead of feeling snappy and responsive the long animation leaves me feeling sluggish.
The same goes for when I open the page view sidebar and the search sidebar. These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.

less submenus
Many functions you have placed in submenus could easily fit into their respective window headers, toolbars etc. - thereby becoming more obvious and faster/easier to access.
examples:1) The filter for bookmarked pages in the page browser is now the single item in a submenu. Unnecessary - there is easily enough room for 4 tabs - even when viewed as sidebar and in portrait orientation. img_0387
2) Select pages and sidebar/popup toggle hide behind a 3 dots menu in the page browser. Why? There is enough room there to show these directly. Esp. if you implement the toggle as one…

Actual 2-page view (no new window/split window stuff)
An actual 2-page view, not the clunky new window stuff.
I dislike that threads requesting a 2-page view in landscape mode were commented as “resolved” by Goodnotes with the release of new windows modes. Using the Split View mode for viewing two pages at once is super clunky. You have to awkwardly scroll twice and activate tools twice, etc. there should be a way to see two pages at once of a notebook IN THE SAME WINDOW.

Make a visible scrolling bar
it's really annoying to have to leave the pen to scroll with the mouse because the scrolling bar is invisible. WHY?! i want to scroll with the bar on the side without putting away the pen to grab the mouse and scroll with the wheel. yes the scroll bar reappears when i scroll, but it's useless because it disappears after 2 seconds and does not appear in any way other than wheel scrolling with the mouse. VERY ANNOYING! scrolling should be available in few ways (like Adobe Acrobat) but here for some reason you only can scroll with the wheel.…

Remove blue from the top nav bar
The blue main menu at the top is quite disturbing. Please make it possible to hide it or change color to white/black depending on system light mode.

Selection tool
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent change in the selection tool behavior in Goodnotes Web.
After the latest update, whenever we select elements on the canvas, several options such as Copy, Cut, Transform, Change Color, etc., automatically appear directly on top of the selected content. This makes the canvas look cluttered and makes it harder for both teachers and students to clearly view or reposition the selected items.
Earlier, the selection experience was much cleaner. When using the lasso selection tool, only the blue dots appeared around the…

Table of Contents
Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.
Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.

Remove auto-hotbar when using lasso
When you select something with the lasso, and the hot-bar of options immediately comes up, it gets in the way when you're trying to move things to a specific place, it would be much better if it went back to what it was - selecting using lasso, then tapping the selected area to pull up the object options.

Quick access to all pages marked as favourites
Before the latest update there was the option to access an overview of all pages I marked as favourite pages after clicking on the „four rectangle“ buttom at the top left hand corner.
There the first tab displayed the overview of all pages and THE SECOND TAB displayed the option to quickly access all my marked favourite pages.
Now the second tab is the document outline (which was the third one before) and the third now is an overview of audio files. I almost never need audio files but I need the quick access of ALL my favourites sometimes just…

Table of Contents Efficiency
When I am working in a large document (several hundred pages), navigating the TOC is cumbersome. If I’m on page 23 of 900, and know I need to go approximately 3/4 of the way into the document to a chart, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll until I get there.
The app I’m attempting to replace with Goodnotes, GoodReader, has an extremely efficient TOC that you can click through easily. You can see the entire document and just tap where you want to go. If I need to navigate the documents actual TOC, bookmarks, or any annotations I…

Linking text documents, not only normal notebooks
Version 7.0.18: At the moment, it's only possible to link notebooks. It would be useful to link text documents, too.

Do not automatically scroll to the end of the new page when pulling to add a page
The current behavior makes no sense. Why would I want to go to the end of the new page? Obviously, I want to be at its beginning. Why would adding a page even change my position is beyond me.

Pinning Folders or Documents in our home pages
We should have a way were we can pin folders/documents to our home pages. I don't mean favorites, favorites doesn't work because it shows all the favorited items within documents. But I wanna be able to pin folders/documents to my home page. Also being able to pin documents within folders would be nice.

Scroll to add new page
When scrolling to add a new page it auto jumps to the bottom of the new page. Instead it should stay at the top of the new page as this is where you will be writing next

Stop scroll on tab switch
When switching tabs on at least iPadOS good notes slightly scrolls up every time you switch tabs rather than just staying at the location prior to tab switch
