[Folders Navigation] Collapsible Sidebar in Library / File Tree Overview
I’d love to see a persistent side navigation panel inside GoodNotes.
Right now, switching between folders or notebooks requires repeatedly pressing the back arrow and exiting screens. It would be much more efficient if there were a collapsible sidebar that lets users quickly access folders, recent notebooks, or favorites while staying inside their current note.
This would help maintain focus during studying and make navigation feel more fluid, similar to sidebar navigation in messaging or file management apps.

Make the tabs pinnable
I want to make the tabs pinnable, shrinking them into small icons in the corner. It prevents clutter but keeps them handy, since I use them too often to close or scroll for finding them every time.

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…

iPhone Duo Foldable Support
Is their iPhone Duo foldable Goodnotes support? Their opportunities to make the use of experience better, with the second window, like picking a new pages to copy or move in the separate window, or a Zoom feature to pop up on the other side.
Additionally, will it be compatible as the Apple Pencil that must be used is not princess sensitive… Will Goodnotes be able to operate without the princess sensitivity?

Request to restore 5-page thumbnail view
Every goodnotes update is worse and worse... dont fix it, if it aint broken!!! When I click to go see and scroll through all the pages in a document I dont want a measly 3 pages that I can see per line. I'm a medical student and my lectures that I take notes on from good notes are 100s of pages long and this makes scrolling through large documents extremely inefficient. Bring back the 5 pages per line!!!

Expand Page Option
Have a feature where you can expand the page of a document, so that you can have extra space to write annotations. This would be helpful for med students like me who often write and annotate over books but have no space to write. Have an option to expand the page to the left, or to the right, or expand both sides, or customized expansion.

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.

Quick-add to Table of Contents from selected text ("Ghost Page")
When working in a long notebook (for example, 80+ pages in), adding a heading to the table of contents means leaving my place, scrolling back to page 1, writing the entry, and then scrolling all the way back. I'd like a faster way to do this.
Proposed feature:
I highlight a title or text segment (e.g., "Lecture 12 – Filters, p. 80").
A new option appears in the selection menu, such as "Send to Table of Contents."
A "ghost page" overlay appears showing the table of contents page, with a "Go to page…" field and left/right arrows to flip to…

Infinite Scroll note / page / notebook
Hello! i know the whiteboard already exists, but i feel they are quite limited in file size, as well as can get overwhelming for certain purposes. i think it would be great to ADDITIONALLY have an infinite scrolling note, but not infinite sideways, only downwards. This is a great in between for many purposes, and it is quite similar to a common format found throughout many apps such as apple notes, upnote, etc... having a goodnotes version of this would definitely be amazing!
of course one thing to keep in mind is to add the ability to lasso "under a…3 votes -
Add a way to close file navigator and return to document tabs
There are two view modes in Goodnotes:
- File navigation
- Documents tabs (the documents already open)
We can switch from 2 to 1.
But for some baffling reason there is no way to simply switch from 1 to 2. Instead there is only the contrived way of having to open any file in order to return to 2.
I do not know why Goodnote's UI/UX team has been thinking all these years that that be an okay solution. No other programme does this and it is counterintuitive.
Could you please add this? It's so easy to do. E.g. you could add…

Organization of a Notebook
One of the key ways OneNote is useful is the organization of sub-tab structure so one class notebook can have multiple sections. I have to swipe right a million times to get to my notes for class number 9 in a syllabus.

Categorize
Hi goodnotes is my go to app and searching accros 500 folders is becoming tedious so allowing pdf to have "tags" for example: my course note in algebra I put the tags "Course note" and "Algebra" and I can filter and find It in 2 seconds instead of putting it in favorite and look at all the others files that are favorited.

Add folder pinning function
As a long-term power user of GoodNotes, I have accumulated a large number of folders on my home page over years of use. Currently, folders can only be sorted by creation date, last modified date, name, or file type. I often spend a great deal of time scrolling to locate my frequently accessed, important folders.
I sincerely hope the development team can add a folder pinning to top feature. This simple function would greatly streamline file navigation and save users ample browsing time.
I have always admired the overall design and experience of GoodNotes, and this is the most anticipated…4 votes -
Permanent tab bar
When I have a document open, the tab bar shows a tab for each open document. Also, the Home tab appears on the left in the tab bar. When I click on it, the tab bar with the open documents disappears. To get back to the open documents, I then have to open a document again.
It would be easier if in the Home view (a) the tab bar remained permanently at the top (so that the Home view is just another tab), or (b) there was a shortcut called “Open documents” on the left.

Better Folder Organization
Allow users to have a customized order of their folders where they can place folders in a specific order instead of being limited to either types, name, how recently modified, etc. Folders and files would be able to be customized into a certain order that allows the user to have more customizability in what goes where in their file organization.

Crop selection
Where is my crop selection. It used to be right there on the first selection menu. In the picture mode why would I need to paste and match style? I’ve selected a picture, why would I need to paste?

[Whiteboard options] Add Scene feature similar to Freeform
I really like the whiteboard feature as it enables others and me to collaborate cross-platform on the same infinite canvas like on Freeform, where only Apple users can collaborate.
But I miss the background options you get with ordinary.
I also miss scenes from Freeform, which can serve as keynote slides, table of contents and a general outline of the whole mind-map.
For me as a math and it student, this would be much appreciated.
