  1. Instead of creating a notebook and then pasting the pages we copied earlier from another notebook, it will be easier if there is an option to insert pages from clipboard directly. (check sshot attached)

  2. It would be nice to be able to add more pen sizes to the tool bar when needed and also can delete them if you don't need it. This makes it easier to change between sizes instead of changing the pen size each time when an extra one is needed.

  3. I frequently go between black and yellow paper templates, depending on class and revisions.

    Rather than having to manually switch the three colors and pen sizes with each template, what if we could assign a preset for a template.

    Ex: each time I open my black squared template, I'd have white/pink/blue colors set at .3, .5, and 1 but if I switch/insert my yellow dotted template, those presets would switch to black/yellow/blue (etc etc).

  4. This way a new note would automaticly be stored on my NAS. Also I would not have to use ICloud to see my notes on other devices. This would make things a lot more orginised and it would also save storage space on my ipad! :)

  5. Well when I work I have to import documents every time and when I want to get my work into the files or in a hard drive I have to export it every time it’s kind of complex and mail may may we get a feature that can simplify this process like make it a feature that can support as direct from editing

  6. Please add in more pens and highlighter options like rectangle or round end. Also, please add in color palettes to the pens and highlighters in case we want to design our notes in a certain color scheme. Also the eraser is annoying so please change it to erase pixels.

  11. When looking at imported PDF thumbnails, we should have an option to view only thumbnails of pages with annotations (highlights, handwriting). (like in Notability) This is especially useful for very large files, like textbooks.

  13. IOS Sharing direct to Goodnotes irregardless of what the source application is. Currently Evernote and OneNote appear to be able to receive just about any share from any application on MacOs and IOS. Screenshot attached of a sample of what they are able to do. I also have a screen shot of how I can send an application to either Evernote or OneNote. Being able to share an output directly from an app into Goodnotes removes a 1 or 2 step necessity that would require a user to transform the output into pdf and then go into Goodnotes and import…

  19. It would be useful to being able to write in a document even with the toolbar being invisible. This had the effect that the whole page being visible would be bigger as it fills the whole iPad screen.
    Maybe you could create some kind of „mini toolbar“ in pop-up style that could be used in this mode.

  20. Good Day

    quite a few companies use goodnotes on the flight deck. We regularly need to rearrange the pages in a special manner. Right now you can use the overview but you only can move one page by time. It really helps if you can mark several pages and move it to a specific spot.
    That would be a super B add-on :)

    Greetings from Germany
