  2. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  3. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  4. In the experimental feature you can’t scroll through a view of the cards like you can with notebook and other cards making it hard to edit and use

  5. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  6. When adding (pasting) pages to a existed document, it would be great if the width of the added page is adaptive to the width of the existing pages if all pages of the document are of the same size. If not all pages are of the same size, then allow users to choose the width, e.g. existing page width (A3/A4/…), same as preceding page, etc.

  9. When collaborating on documents, sometimes it may be necessary to make a copy to make individual annotations. However, making a copy will not keep other annotations up-to-date/synced with the master/main copy. Thus, a feature allowing users to “fork” a document and keep it synced while adding their own edits in their forked document would be useful. This is important and especially essential for educational settings where a teacher or project leader may wish to distribute a template version for individuals to edit, but keep annotations or edits updates on all copies.

    A further extension to this would be the ability…

  10. By adding variables (for example a date variable), the user wouldn’t have to rewrite the date ever time.

  12. when you use the select tool and use the color option, you should get the option to have multi-recolor, such that you can see each color used in the selected region and get the option to switch each color to another color manually, while also having an all - recolor option to change everything which we have now

  13. It would be great to a have a "visual graph" of the audio recordings (volume level).

    Use case:
    While listening to a recording of a long lecture\meeting you can easily navigate to parts with higher volume (speaking parts) and avoid silent ones.

  14. It would be great if one could move/drag the page higher, so that the hand would still lie on the tablet when one wants to write at the very bottom of the page.

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  15. We are an engineering office and work very intensively with GoodNotes to document construction sites. For this we insert many images into prepared documentation templates. In order to ensure a uniform layout, the images currently have to be inserted manually into the placeholders. Here we would like to have a scaling function (proportional and unproportional) in which the dimensions of the image can be specified numerically.

  16. It is hard to edit the title when the notebook is opened because of the Split View window. It always prioritizes the Split View option menu, which makes it quite frustrating when trying to edit the title. Either make the title offset to the side or have a button that enables editing so it is not so close to the Split View button.

  17. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  18. Wanna divide {ONLY Straight Line} button from {Square,Triangle,Circle} button because whenever I write / before conjunction or kinda adverb, it always becomes curve.

    Also, that suggested {ONLY Straight Line} button needs to include Highlighter, too. Because that Highlighter's straight option does not works well and it highlights as curve. But my book in PDF does not curved.

    I want to study in a effective way with fast writing straight lines instead of drawing fine art curve. But currently, Goonotes5 on iPad enforce me art on my textbook PDF.

    So JUST make {ONLY Straight Line} button including pen and highlighter.

  19. Now the goodnotes on windows beta can only create notes files but can not open the notes files created by ios or share the files to other equipments. Naturally, I know that now the beta version can not sync with iphone or mac, however, the functions I mentioned beyond is also very important.
