  1. The new typing mode in GN6 has significantly enhanced its versatility. It would be even better if a highlight tool could be added to the typing mode, allowing users to directly apply highlights to text while typing.

  2. When you convert handwriting into text it would be great if every time it converted the text with the same font and color you have saved as default options

  4. It would be great to use the side buttons on a mouse (e.g., MX mouse) as a back and forward button (similar functionality in browsers).

  6. Covers imported directly from the market place are able to be grouped by the same cover. Custom imports should be able to also be categorized with different color options all together under one cover, instead of having them all separate in the same group.

  7. It would be great to add an option where you can „secure“ a picture on a page

    So, sometimes I add pictures to my pages with exercises for my students. But then, when I want them to write answers on them, they accidentally touch some spot on the page and the picture moves and the writing is underneath and so on. I know it’s possible to add a picture as a new page but sometimes I add several pictures on one page. Just please give me the option to securely add a picture to the page.

  8. I am talking about the GoodNotes version for macOS.
    On Mac, you can use the shortcut cmd + shift + 4 to take a screenshot of a selected area. However, this also changes the scrolling mechanism from scrolling through a document to zooming in or out of a document.

    I hope there is no existing post on this topic yet.

  9. (For larger documents) allow a way to type the page you want to go to, instead of scrolling through (thumbnails) to find it

  10. It would be nice to type and edit math expressions in the notes from MacOS Goodnotes. The same should apply to desktop/web versions.

    There are text editors out there that allow me to enter MathJax text between $ (dollar) signs that is rendered into the math formulae.

    It would be very handy if we could do the same from Goodnote Desktop/Web versions. (Math conversion from handwritten text is great, but it is not always the fastest way to enter complicated formulae.)

  11. I wish there was a feature that allows you to set a notification (not like the current one), but with a random question from a study set throughout the day, I would like to receive a notification to test myself at any time of the day. I think it would be very useful to maintain focus, even for those study sets that we have forgotten.

  13. When using the marker tool, if the underline is short (for example, a single word), the line is no longer straight, even though this option is selected

  14. My huge love for Goodnotes for a long time but guess sometimes we need the option for temporarily deleting some documents from offline even retaining same documents in online (iCloud or Google Drive) due to low storage iPads/iPhones.

    It would be wonderful if we could get "Make available offline" (also "unavailable offline") function like the attached screenshot (and this is Google Drive folder in Mac OS's Finder).

  15. it’s too easy to swipe to next page. when i’m near the edge and i want to move (quite softly. for sure its not sudden) to write more it takes me to new page and it’s frustrating

  16. Often, I want to write on one page or section of a document while viewing the same document in another window. Or I want to open my two-page guitar score (in one document) in two separate windows to have the score fitted perfectly on the screen of my iPad in landscape mode.
    Currently, I have to open another GoodNotes window and find the document, which can often take a while. It would be so much more efficient if I could just open the same document in a new window directly via a new button.

  17. When underlining, if it were aligned with the text automatically, it would be more comfortable, since sometimes it is above or below and you have to adjust it manually.

  20. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.
