Feature Request: Multi-Window Note Editing on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’ve been a long-time user of GoodNotes, and I really appreciate the seamless experience it provides for note-taking and organizing documents. I would like to suggest a feature that I believe could significantly improve productivity for iPad users: multi-window note editing.
Currently, it is not possible to open two notes side by side in GoodNotes, which makes referencing or transferring information between notes less convenient. With a multi-window feature, users could:
View two or more notes simultaneously for easier cross-referencing.
Drag and drop text, images, or handwriting between notes.
Increase productivity for students, professionals, and anyone managing…

Toggle or change to Eraser in pen tools (7.0.6)
Choosing pen tools but it keeps going to eraser.
The mode that wrap annotations (pen, editing, writing) in one place including eraser is someone troubling me.
When used lasso tools then change to pen, it keeps getting to eraser before pen. When it wasn’t merge before, I can manually select pen then it’s pen.
Now when I select pen, it goes to eraser.I want it to be pen first when I choose the category.

Disable long press menu as a palm rejection option
When I’m writing with my apple pencil I’m constantly accidentally activating the paste, zoom, comment, link long press menu with my fingers, I never use this menu, so I think it would be helpful to be able to disable it in the palm rejection settings menu.

Avoid erasing subsequent contents when autofilling
When autofilling, GoodNote will erase the first word in the next line (specifically, the first word in a list on the following line). Please stop autofilling from eating contents on a different line.

When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without
I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.
Why it’s important:
Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.
Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.
Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.
Suggestions for implementation:
Option in settings: “New Text Box Default…

code insert
Notion has a feature to insert code and choose which language you're using so that it automatically uses that language's formatting conventions. I am a computer science student who prefers taking most notes by hand which is why I don't typically use Notion, but Goodnotes makes it harder to insert code examples when I need them.

Feature Request: Sync Pen Colors, Add Matching Paper Sizes, and Expand Sticker Library
1- Sync Pen Colors Across Devices
It would be great if custom pen colors automatically synced between all devices linked to the same account (iPad, Windows, Android, etc.). This way, users can keep a consistent color palette without having to recreate it manually.2- Add Paper That Matches the Document Size
Please add an option to insert new pages that automatically match the size and layout of the current document. This would make it easier to keep documents consistent without adjusting the paper size each time.3- Add More Built-in Stickers
Expanding the sticker library with more categories (study, productivity,…2 votes -

selecting text using a cursor on ipad
When selecting text on an iPad on a pdf, I have to hold down on a word and manually drag the selection as if I am using my finger. The drag function with a cursor on iPad is currently used to scroll through, but this is much less useful than using two fingers on a trackpad or a scroll wheel. Could the ‘drag cursor’ function please be reprogrammed to select text instead (like in every other application) please??

Better Pencilsketching and Erasing workflow
I like to do STORYBOARD Thumbnail Sketches in Goodnotes!!
I really like the PENCIL tool!
But often times I sketch in one colour ( light blue or red)
and then CLEAN UP the drawing in dark grey or black..I would really like to:
- THEN ERASE THE LIGHT BLUE SKETCH underneath, only..
NOT my sketch above!!
Right now this is NOT possible, because we have an ERASE HIGHLIGHTER ONLY option , but the Highlighter is too BIG for sketching!!Soo It would be indeed very helpful to HAVE a "colour-pick eraser.."
That way we could sketch in ONE colour,…

The new unified writing tool is very inconvenient
Hi, I’d like to share some feedback about the new “Unified Drawing Tool.”
I use GoodNotes professionally as a teacher — during presentations, I do live-style writing and drawing on the screen.
In my workflow, I switch very frequently between the pointer, pen, highlighter, eraser, and lasso selection.After the recent update, all the writing tools are grouped under one button, making it much slower to switch tools and really interrupting my work.
For me, it’s essential to have my writing tools on the same toolbar level as the pointer and lasso.Please make this customizable again, or at least…

Keep "Show pdf-outline" setting as selected
Some pdf documents imported to a goodnotes folder to already have a lot of annoying outlines in them. Goodnotes helps you with not showing them by selecting that in the outline section with a checkmark.
After closing the folder and opening it again, the checkmark is set back to "show pdf-outline", so it originally shows the pdf-outline all the time which is super annoying.
Could you please import the feature that the checkmark stays as selected by the user, so that he can decide for every single folder if he wants to see the pdf-outlines or only hisself.

Rubber in the main menu
If you use for example the new forms and switch to the rubber by tapping your Apple Pencil and then you open the Pencil Menu, the rubber is selected.
I would prefer the rubber as an independent tool like the powerpointer.3 votes -
highlighter memorisation
I want to have a highlighter that blocks out whatever is highlighted when toggled on. Just like how you can block the words that are highlighted in red by green screen.
It will be useful when you are trying to remember keywords and equation.

Let users remove all AI bloat from app
I am not going to pretend that NOBODY uses Goodnotes AI but lets be real here, you guys must read what people say online, it is NOT as popular as the updates and focus on AI would make you believe.
But just because its trendy and a fraction of people use it, the rest of us are forced to have this stuff taking up spaces and hogging resources when it provides us with no use whatsoever.
In an ideal world you would have classic Goodnotes being worked on and improved consistently and then a separate Goodnotes AI app for the…

Stickers - bring back the old menu
Please bring back the old method of being able to tap anywhere on screen to show the sticker menu and have the sticker placed exactly where you tapped on screen. The new method of tapping the sticker icon in the toolbar, selecting a sticker, the. Having to find the sticker randomly placed on the page, then move it where it’s required is such a backwards step and waste of time!

Bring back old text box mode (no double tapping for confirmation and unlimited boxes)
The new update on the text box mode needs to be reverted. Firstly, you have to tap twice in order to confirm the box, which is already inconvenient enough, but on top of that the text box mode will switch to the lasso tool after one box??
It is VERY inefficient to take notes on lecture manuscripts, now you have to double tap everytime to confirm it and then you need to reselect text box mode...
Before that you could place unlimited boxes and you didn't need to double tap to confirm. Bring it back please!!!

New updates are glitchier/less smooth than previous releases!
Writing using pens is glitchy, I see the line or letter I am drawing flicker from visible / invisible, drawing shapes is terrible and can't be rotated! Erasing seems glitchy with shapes too.
Please revert back to old releases until the bugs are worked out on these new algorithms, because the writing process is now, at this point, user UNfriendly.
