Customer Suggestions for Goodnotes (Apple)

Welcome to the Goodnotes idea-sharing space!

This space is dedicated to users on Apple devices (iPad, Mac, iPhone). If you’re using Goodnotes on Android, Windows, or Web, please visit this link.

Tips to make your suggestion visible and bring your idea to life:

  • Search existing threads. Your idea might already be under discussion. If so, feel free to add your input or vote on it. More votes = more visibility.
  • Create a new thread if it’s new. If your suggestion is unique, start a new thread. Write a short, clear headline that quickly conveys your main idea, and include context and details in the description.
  • Separate multiple ideas. If you have several suggestions, split them into individual topics so we can review (and others can vote on) each one more effectively.
Please note that we do not offer technical support on this page. To report bugs or get help, please contact our Customer Support.

  1. It would be great if I could select multiple pages and add to one outline, rather than having to copy and paste the outline title into each page.

    Hello,

    Currently, we don’t have an option to add multiple pages to the outline in bulk. However, there’s a faster way to generate outlines using Goodnotes AI. You can simply ask AI to create an outline for your document, and it will review all pages and organize them automatically—so you don’t need to add them manually.

    Let us know if this works best for you.

    For more details, please read here.

    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We understand that this topic is very important to you. In the meantime, Goodnotes on Android, Windows, and Web supports most of the major features you enjoy on Apple, though we’re still working on creating a more consistent experience across all platforms.

    To specify your ideas and features you want, we recommend sharing ideas in separate threads: 1 feature request = 1 thread. This makes it easier for others to vote, check if an idea has already been submitted, and helps us identify which ideas are most important to you.

    Once a feature goes live, we’ll update the thread and you’ll receive an email notification from the portal promptly.

    We look forward to hearing your ideas!

    Hello, thanks for sharing the idea!

    The option to sort the outline by page number just went live in the recent iOS release (version 7.0.22).

    To enable it, tap the top-left icon in the Outlines sidebar and select Sort by Page Number.

    Please note that switching to this option will remove any custom ordering.

    You can read more details about outlines here.

    Search within Outlines is also available within


    Searching within outlines is also available via the document’s Search tool. Tap Search (the icon on the left side of the toolbar, next to the sidebar icon), then select Search → Outlines.

  7. Especially in PDFs and PowerPoint Presentations where you cannot add more room to write on or around the page, having the ability to add and create a collapsible “sticky note” on the page would be useful. An example is provided:

    Hello,

    With the September 2025 update, collapsing Sticky Notes are now available.

    To use them:

    1. Select Sticky Notes from the main toolbar (it’s a separate tool).
    2. Create a sticky note.
    3. Tap Collapse (the arrows icon) in the object menu, the note will collapse along with its text, similar to a comment icon.
    4. To expand it again, simply tap the sticky note.

    Screenshot attached.

    Let us know if this works for you!

  11. Better organisation options through internal links!! When you have a lot of notes you don't want to be searching through hundreds of pages for the specific topic your looking for! I would love to be able to create an index where I click on the topic and it will take me there, like google docs does (one of my favourite features). Maybe different personalisation options side tabs like a binder and you can click them to go to the specified area (as a seperate option not instead of basic internal links). I have found people asking for this as far…

    Hello, the option for quickly navigating multi-page documents already exists—you can do this using Outlines.

    Outlines are available in the sidebar, and you can customize them as needed: generate them with AI, create them manually, or import them from an existing PDF file.

    You can find more details on how Outlines work here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/7353757101071-Create-an-outline

  17. It would be nice if you could delete parts of the pdf outline or the complete outline of an imported document. Currently, you are only able to edit your own outline.

    Hello,


    The option to delete outline items is already available. You can delete items one by one by selecting individual entries, or you can select and delete multiple items—or all of them—in bulk.


    For more details, read here.

    Let us know if that works for you!

  19. currently, there are only three colors appear and if we want to change to a different color we would have to click the option menu to change the color. I think it would be better to add 2 more colors,

  20. I'm a surgical resident, and I've used almost every form of note taking, app and study method available in my 30+ years of being a professional student.

    I've used Notability for a long time, but switched to Goodnotes because of the feature set, community, and one-time fee model. There are a few key missing features that make me switch back and forth between the apps.

    Disclaimer: I realize the amount of effort it takes to execute new features and believe people should be compensated for their work. I would not be opposed to in-app purchases for the additional features proposed…

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your ideas — we really appreciate the thought and effort behind them 🙏

    To help us review and prioritize feedback more effectively, we’re going to close this idea for now, as some of the ideas already live. It currently includes multiple suggestions, which makes it harder for us (and other users) to discuss, vote on, and track each one properly.

    If you’d like, please feel free to submit each idea separately, or add your vote to existing ideas that match what you’re suggesting. That really helps us understand what matters most to the community.

    Thanks again for sharing and for helping make the forum better!
