Shape editing was better in Goodnotes 6
I regularly use the shape to draw curved lines and then edit their shape to create larger, more complex shapes. Currently, that‘s next to impossible:
- Editing points don‘t scale with zooming; especially when editing small lines, the points now cover up the lines entirely.
- These lines are often glitched out and turn invisible while editing, especially when multiple lines are connected together.
- After editing a line, Goodnotes automatically selects the lasso tool instead of the pen, making the drawing process very tedious.None of these issues occured with Goodnotes 6, I hope these issues are fixed with…

Feature request: 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.5 votes -
Make "Text Docs" searchable
You recently introduced "Text Doc". I figured that text within these Text Docs is not searchable. You only find words used in the title of each Text Doc which is obviously limiting.

Writing on am image be writing on the image itself
When annotating an image that I imported onto the note, it would be amazing that if/when I move the image that whatever I wrote would move with it as if I wrote on the actual image itself. Currently, I could use the lasso tool but that seems very clunky for such a smooth interface such as Goodnotes

Notebook Synchronization
Integrating a synchronization button within the three dots menu of a notebook would help synchronize it when working on it from a laptop or iPad, as there is a synchronization delay between the two devices. This would allow the user to avoid going back to the main menu to synchronize the notebook and then return to their work.

Lasso-select content in Goodnotes and instantly turn it into an Anki flashcard.
I propose developing a tool that allows users to lasso-select content directly in Goodnotes and instantly convert it into editable Anki flashcards. This workflow streamlines note reviewing for medical and other students by removing tedious copy-paste steps and adding smart options for automated question creation or image occlusion—all without leaving your Goodnotes workspace.
Key Features:
Lasso-select content in Goodnotes (text, sketches, images)
Instantly export selected content as an Anki flashcard
Choose flashcard type: basic, image occlusion, or custom
Option to auto-generate questions using AI
Manual question entry supported
Automatic deck creation based on lecture/file metadata
Simple workflow, no need for…

Writing while audio is paused.
I use audio recordings to complete my notes afterwards. However, when I pause to start writing, the audio jumps to the beginning. In previous versions, as far as I remember, the audio stayed paused and my notes were added at that point, so when I replayed the audio, the notes appeared exactly where I wanted them to.
(It works when the sidebar is large, but not when it is minimized)

[Tape] Show/Hide/Remove All Tapes at Once
After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

Infinite canvas is not searchable
The infinite canvas currently does not export as a searchable pdf file. When we export the file, it works like a picture which gets pixelated when we zoom
So it would help a lot if we could search handwriting and text within the infinite canvas5 votes -
Writing Tools in Main Toolbar
Thank you for improving the toolbar customisation with your latest updates to version 7.0.15.
However, it would be very helpful, if it would be possible to have the writing tools also integrated in the main toolbar. I use the laser, the fountain pen, the highlighter and the eraser for presenting slides in my lectures. I have to switch very often between the writing tool and the laser during the lecture and with the current setup, there is always an extra click, when I want to switch between the laser and a writing tool, since I have to open first the…4 votes -
[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.

Reporting issues regarding the update of floating toolbar
Dear GoodNotes Team,
As someone who has been using GoodNotes for nearly three years, I was quite surprised by the recent update. Since writing is very important to me and GoodNotes has been one of the best tools I have ever had, I wanted to share some feedback right away:
…1. Thank you for finally adding the floating toolbar option. However, the current design has some issues. For example, since the toolbar now sits lower on the page, it reduces the available workspace and sometimes overlaps with the text, which is not ideal. 2. The new toolbar design limits access5 votes -

Options Bar Update (October 2025)
Every time I select anything on screen with the lasso tool the options bar pops up BELOW my selection. Once I go to click out of my selection, the trash button is in the way and deletes my writing. Why on earth would the options bar pop up below when holding down on the selected area results in ANOTHER bar popping up on top of the selection. Super annoying and frustrating when the new position of the tool bar makes me delete everything I select with the lasso tool.

Bring back the ability to draw straight lines
After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.
In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line,…

Please put copy and paste back
Why did you change the copy and paste? It takes way too long to copy and paste an item now. I hate how it asks me a question each time I simply want to paste an item. I don’t understand this change. The question of “allow paste”should just be a setting you can pick outside of the regular function. I get behind in my note taking because i constantly have to answer the copy and paste question. The function was so much better before. Seriously considering different note taking app because of the tool changes. We were paying for a…
