  1. I'm using Goodnotes on M1MacBookAir. I often copy and paste images but sometimes pasted images are converted original first pasting form. I would like you to fix this condition, in which edited images form will be saved permanently.

  4. Hello, I would like to offer some suggestions for you. The first question is whether it is possible to optimize the toolbar so that it can only be on top or bottom, because for example, marking in an article requires using different pens, and the distance between switching points is too far, making it inconvenient to make it a column on the left and right may be much better. Secondly, I suggest setting the thickness of the pen and the straight line separately. For example, if I use a thick line pen and want to use a thin line to…

  5. Hey there,

    we use GOODNOTES at our school on a daily basis and I think it would be a great idea to manage the import of documents like PDFs. For example: if I want to open a PDF in OneDrive and share it in order to open it into another App like Goodnotes, I can only choose to import it into the current document or open a new document. It would be a great idea to be able to choose the document and maybe have it saved to multiple documents at the same time.

    Kind regards

  6. I suggest an addition to the tape feature that would allow the user to cover/uncover all of the tape on the current page. This would be extremely useful in slides such as anatomical diagrams, which have many possible areas to cover and study. This feature would immediately remove the repetitiveness of having to go back through and individually re-cover names.

  7. When scanning, each scanned document is converted to the US Letter format. This means an originally A4-sized sheet is shrunk and gains borders. This is problematic because I am a geometry teacher, and when a student draws a line of, for example, 7 cm on their A4 sheet, the internal Goodnotes ruler only reads 6.3 cm. This is inconvenient. I would like to be able to set the format to A4 during scanning so that all real lengths can be accurately measured by the Goodnotes ruler.

  8. If the AI could read the PDF background/template, the annotations could be put into context. This would be very helpful for planner, journals or almost any document.

  10. When you take a photo with Goodnotes, the photo is imported directly into GoodNotes. The image data is compressed in the process.
    If you want to export the photos from GoodNotes afterwards, then
    you will unfortunately only receive the compressed photo data.
    The original quality of the photos is unfortunately lost.
    It would be good if the photos were also saved as original files in the iOS or PadOS library in addition to being imported into GoodNotes.
    This would give you both the compressed photos in GoodNotes AND the original photo data.
    Often you need both data!
    Greetings Tobi

  11. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    As an architect, I take a lot of measurements on construction sites with GoodNotes and my iPad.
    I take a lot of photos for the measurements, which I then label with GoodNotes.
    Unfortunately, I have to reset the desired camera settings for each photo, e.g. flash on or zoom setting of the camera.
    It would be nice if there was an option to save the last camera settings.
    Greetings Tobi

  13. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Hello, my name is Tami, and I have been using GoodNotes since its initial release. I believe you must have tried the app CollaNote at some point.

    Today, I have a request. In the CollaNote app, when you write, it automatically adjusts the shape of the letters to keep them from looking uneven, almost like a magnetic effect. As a left-handed person with tremors, I often struggle with keeping my writing neat.

    I would greatly appreciate it if GoodNotes could add a similar feature that automatically adjusts the shape of letters in your next update. This feature…

  14. Please change the current erase options system (Erase highlighter/tape only), into this sort of mechanism;

    Eraser Style

    (Precision/Standard/Stroke...)

    Pen-erasible [toggle_switch]
    Highlight-erasible ["]
    Tape-erasible ["]

    I had experienced situations so much in which I wanted to erase only pen traces, and perhaps along with other types of traces.
    In one instance, I was using tapes to make my own fill-in-the-blank questions. However, I couldn't dare to write any letter with a pen because you can't just erase them without removing the tapes along, and it is really frustrating.
    At other times, I had to struggle erasing pen marks overlapped with highlights,…

  15. Just like how it is done for images, which, when selected, if pressed longer can be duplicated, for the pen. It already does the "effect" of duplicating it with a grayer color, but when you release it it vanishes. It would be great and a lot faster than copy-pasting. Thanks

  16. just as we can “play recording” from the contextual menu for handwritten notes; it would be highly beneficial to have the same in typing mode

  18. In the pages tab can we select multiple pages and then choose “paste into” to then paste the clipboard contents into all selected pages in the same place as the item was copied from. Eg boxes, shapes, text for tabs etc

    I know we can paste pages but paste INTO pages would be amazing.

    • Show all/hide all of tape in one click
    • darken the tape color when hide tape, so it can act as highlight as well

  19. I loved the new keyboard option for writing, like in “Word.” But I would like more options to modify the font and other aspects, other tools, to improve the writing part. Another suggestion is that when I paste something I copied from ChatGPT, it comes with symbols like * and #. There could be an option to locate these symbols and remove them all. Add more features to the study cards (you can borrow some ideas from Anki) haha. Thank you, I look forward to it! I love the app <3
