  2. It would be really nice if you could make the outlines more interactive, to be able to do stuff with it. After all, this is our table of contents and I would like if it was possible to export it, print it and even have a toggle to show it within the document on the side (not on the page directly but by the side of the marked page) like Microsoft word’s proof reading correction comments.

    Furthermore, something that has been causing me a headache is once you mark a page and give it a title in the outline, if…

  3. When highlighting a word or sentence in an imported pdf, tap to enable a hidden note embedded within the highlight. The reason I say imported pdfs is because most files do not have space to take notes on the individual pages so embedding your note within the highlight provides space to take notes where the note applies while keeping the file looking clean.

    i.e. the definition of a word in the middle of a paragraph

  4. I’d love a feature that would allow you to easily select all highlighted (with the highlighter tool) material to copy and paste into another note. When studying, or when reading over documents or notes, I tend to be “old school” and highlight relevant material for further review or further studying. I would then love to be able to take all of my highlighted stuff and copy it into a condensed note for studying only what I’ve highlighted. Hopefully that made sense!

  5. I mostly use Goodnotes to annotate PDFs. But sometimes after making my annotations, I realize the the original PDF has a typo or requires some sort of alteration. In the current iteration of Goodnotes, I have to drag and drop the annotations from the old to new PDF. It would be amazing to be able to replace the underlying PDF with a few clicks. Please! 💔 So many people's workflows would improve drastically.

  10. As a medical student I have to go through lots of lectures and content daily. I have been using onenote as it allows for a fast importing of powerpoints when you convert the slides into PNG file types so i can make notes around them. Im struggling with goodnotes as although you can very quickly import these slides you cant make notes around the slides and you cannot import the slides onto the page of the notebook eg 2x slides per page without doing screenshots which takes a very long time for a lecture with over 100 slides in it.…

  12. I think many people want better use of theyre Keyboard. So it would actually be worth bringing a MacBook with you, and not only using GoodNotes for Handwriting.

  14. As the University years go by, especially as a healthcare student with many lectures and modules, it would be incredibly beneficial to be able to have the search function within individual folders to avoid irrelevant information from different years and modules coming up when searching. This would greatly improve workflow. One thing I've noticed is that the more files you have the harder it is for the word/phrase search function to bring up all the results so being able to change/filter what folders to search would be good. It would also be good if this filter stayed until we changed…

  17. Right now, the eraser would get whatever is in the background of the handwriting, so if I have a brush stroke and it's beautiful, it's gone if I want to change the text that I had overlaid on top of it. Like with the lasso, the eraser should have more options so it doesn't erase things we want to keep

  18. Changing color of written or typed notes with lasso tool.
    For example if you color code your notes and accidentally write a paragraph in the wrong color, you can change the color of everything that is encircled in the lasso.

  19. Make a way for people to vote for the mod response as an appropriate solution.
    For example, the person requesting a calculator in app. The mod pointed out you can swipe and split the screen with a calculator, and that’s a brilliant idea I didn’t think of. I
    There’s no need for GoodNotes to develop and in app calculator, this would be a waste of the GoodNotes teams time and resources, and a waste of storage space on my iPad adding this feature to GoodNotes.
    I want to be able to vote and say the mods response is so great…
