  1. Extremely useful for slowly displaying the contents during a technical lecture

    Select a region. Add option to hide content (In addition to Screenshot). Replace that region with a small square with a number (for sequencing). Tapping the squre again makes content visible.

    1. Reverting works for the whole document - even if I on the second page by reverting I can clean up the first one. It’s really annoying.

    Would be nice to have reverting working for each page rather than the whole document

    1. By some accidental reverting or just inaccurate editing I can lose data or put some new edits I was not intended to but I won’t notice it right away.

    Would be nice to have an ability to lock a page from editing or reverting

  5. Share a page with a web link, maybe is too much that the other persons you are sharing with can edit, but at least they can have a tool to point sections like the red pointer on app. So you can make changes on the app and the other people can watch as you draw flows or anything. That would be super helpfull, like a blackboard

  6. Useful if someone import pages wrongly.

    Say I want to import a 300-page pdf file into a new file, but I mistakenly chose to import it into the current file. It would be convenient if there was an undo button to delete those new pages in the current file.

  9. When you create a folder and make multiple notebooks inside it, they can only be reorganized by certain categories. We should be able to move them freely and organize them how we want.

  10. The text should write perfectly on the notebook lines, no more awkward spacing. The angle of the text should be allowed to be manipulated as well. There have been times where I have wanted to put my text vertically or at an angle.

  11. I would like to import a Folder Structure, including Subfolders and Documents and find that structure represented in GN5 after the import. This would make GN5 a much easier to use Documents Management System if one has a lot of Documents before switching to GN5. Currently one has to create the whole Folder structure manually and import the Documents for each Subfolder separately.

  12. I would like to be able to upload my own notebook cover from my camera roll. This would allow for personal pictures, aesthetically pleasing wallpaper covers, and individually made decorated covers with our title on it.

  14. It would be so useful to create sub-outlines in a notebook because at some point there are so many outlines that it just gets messy and confusing. At the moment these only get created when you import a PDF.
    So pls add this feature.

  16. in order to create perfect technical drawings, you need an improved shape tool and a ruler (like apple notes). It would even be best if you could edit them afterwards without having to remove them. Then it would be the perfect app.

  19. A common action that I perform in Goodnotes is the "Convert Handwriting to Text” and use that converted text as an Outline in my document. What would be nice is there was an option from the converted text window to save the converted text directly to an outline. I’ve attached a screen recording of the steps I currently go through to add an outline title.
