Often the pdf documents have ~1" margins and there have been paragraphs that I would either like to add my own commentary, create a small sketch of an idea, or note an idea related to the material. The margins aren't big enough to fit, but adding a whole blank notes page is too large (I use an iPad Pro).

I request a feature for having a color indicated "sticky note" that fits on either side of the margins and can be placed anywhere alongside it. Tap the little box, and the expanded note comes into view with various options for text, changing note color etc...

Truth be told, the text zoom feature interface that is already in place would work fantastic for this sticky notes feature.

When choosing a preset, it would be useful if presets remembered what thickness you liked for that pen and if you had shape recognition enabled.
Use case: I'm studying on a PDF book; to underline and take notes I'm using:
- A yellow marker with shape recognition enabled to draw a perfect line on the text
- A red thick pen with shape recognition enabled to further underline
- A black thin pen and a red thin pen without shape recognition to write notes.

With the current implementation, I have to choose the color, then choose the thickness, then enable shape recognition = Too many taps.
With this idea implemented, these features would be one tap away.

As part of my workflow, I am quite regularly wanting to insert a new page with just parts of what is on on my current page.

There are two ways I can accomplish this at the moment:

1. Open the multi-page view, tap edit, select the current page, tap copy, tap done, tap +, tap the + in a circle where I want to insert the page, tap "Paste Copied Pages", tap done, select my newly inserted page, use the lasso tool to select the parts of the pages I do not want to keep, and delete them.




2. Use the lasso tool to select only the content on the page that I want to keep, copy it, insert a new page (with the drag gesture if my current page is the last page, otherwise from the plus-in-a-circle menu in the toolbar), then paste in the copied content.

Option 2 is seemingly simpler, because it has quite a few less steps, but depending on the content of the current page, it can actually be quite difficult for me to select only the content I want to keep, as opposed to selecting what I want to remove. For this reason I often find myself having to use Option 1, which as you can see is a lot of steps, just to duplicate a page.

Ideally, it would be awesome to have a one-step option to duplicate the current page and insert it after (or before) the current page. I could see this as an additional option in the plus-in-the-circle menu in the toolbar as something like "Duplicate Page Above/Below", as a nice companion to the "Add Page Above/Below".

Such an option would dramatically reduce the number of steps required to complete my workflow as described in Option 1.

Thanks :)
