  2. Please bring back the ability to automatically bring up the share to option when sharing a link/collaborating. It makes me do extra steps now to take the link copied and go place it somewhere to send it that way

  4. I use the note-paper layout with lines and the side part on the left for punching. I like this layout because I am using handwriting and typewriting in one document. I would love to have this layout with squares and with a right and left side. So when I am printing double sided, the side part is always where the punching is.

  6. Can a feature be added to lock a PDF after it has been signed perhaps with a date/time stamp when the PDF was locked and finalized? I am in law enforcement and I use Goodnotes to have people sign department forms. It would be great if the form could be locked and stamped after it is signed to show that the form has not been altered. Thank you.

  8. Hi! Sometimes I forget to stop the audio clip and it continues to record leaving me with so much wasted data space and unnecessary long clips that I can't edit or shorten. If we just had the feature to simply edit the audio clip, that would be AMAZING.

  9. I would like the ability to make larger font sizes.
    Currently, I view a A4 size and I double that so that I can see essentially 2 pages on one page.

    I would like the ability to make larger font sizes. Right now, the largest you can get is 200.

  10. Goodnotes lacks granular cloud backup options, limiting users' control over their data.

    Solution:

    Implement granular backup options to allow users to:

    Choose specific folders and files for backup
    Choose where the specific folders are stored withing the cloud
    Define individual backup schedules
    Exclude folders and files from backup

  11. Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  12. Currently, Goodnotes only offers automatic backup of files and folders to the selected cloud storage provider. This is useful, but it does not allow for full synchronization of files that are directly added to the cloud. This can lead to inconsistencies between the files stored in Goodnotes and the files stored in the cloud.

    Solution:

    I propose a new feature that would allow users to fully synchronize their Goodnotes files and folders with the cloud. This would ensure that any changes made to files in Goodnotes are also reflected in the cloud, and vice versa.

  13. This one is simple! Please add a feature to zoom out of a page or powerpoint slide so that we can view one slide in a smaller frame than the screen size is. I don't like how the slide automatically fits the page without being able to zoom out a little to give space to edges/corners.

  14. I would like invisible notes. Would be great in GN-pages for preseting or teaching. Just an option for a text-field to mark it as invisble in the presentation oder "only visible on iPad".

  16. Add the ability to program a gesture to rotate pen colors. I use multiple colors for my notes and this feature would save me SO MUCH time.

  18. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  19. Make android math convert available for android user.
    I tried to follow your instructions about the math convertor, and I didn't find this option for it in the android app (using tab S8+).

  20. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).
