  1. Scenario:
    A user is working within a notebook in the "workspace" (the UI where all of the currently open notebooks' tabs are displayed and a user performs there GoodNote'ing). The user is curious if they have a notebook somewhere titled "Foo" and wants to see where "Foo" lives, but they do not want to open "Foo."

    Current behavior:
    When user navigates to the library, they cannot return to their open notebooks until they select a notebook. In this scenario, the user would be forced to open "Foo" only to immediately close it.

    Ideal behavior:
    User has an intuitive way to…

  2. I’d be great if we could share some notes with other GoodNotes customers. I don’t mean real-time edition, I mean only sharing and sync the changes, like sharing a folder or a PDF on Dropbox or Google Drive, the same walkthrough. Thanks

  4. Allow images to be moved behind text layers, even if the image has been inserted after the text.

    Currently, if one selects drawings with the lasso and moves them over an image, they dissappear behind it.

  7. Please add full screen presentation mode.
    Not only during these times of remote meetings, having the possibility to use Goodnotes on the iPad directly is greatly needed.

  10. I use different brush, color and size in different documents. When opening a document, I spend time resetting my style.

    Also (or alternatively) allow saving presets (combo box with up to 3 or 10 presets).

  12. When pinching the page to zoom out, lasso selection is removed.
    I want to be able to zoom out in lasso mode while keeping the selection. This is actually possible if I first select resize. Then I can zoom out and keep the selection. Pls allow the same in lasso.

  13. The average engineering student spends most of their time either taking notes or exercising and practicing off a sheet much like the one visible in the screenshots.
    The current situation provides no comfortable way of displaying the assignments without the use of a secondary device or constantly "tabbing" back and forth between assignments and notes to copy them.

    As of iPad OS 13.4.1, Apple has still not implemented horizontal split-screen with many users suggesting that it may never happen.

    A splitscreen feature within GoodNotes would provide an elegant and intuitive solution in any situation where both viewing a document and…

  15. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.

  16. The laser pen brush of GoodNotes5 which is tried perfect for Chinese, Korean and Japanese handwriting.
    So it’s really nice to add a pen brush same as the laser pen.

  17. It would be great to have more options of editing images:
    Prioritised order —
    * able to change order PLEASE (send to front or back)
    * rounded corners (roundedness can be scalable)
    * edit image (exposure, contrast, saturation, brightness, etc....)
    * mask / cut with shape (circle, square, etc...)

  18. It would be great to have the option to design a template that has the same dimensions as the default ones. So that if you import a paper or cover design you can...

    • put it against the original dimensions
    • mark it up
    • rotate the orientation
    • add basic paper types (grids, lines, dots)... Better if you could choose the colour and spacing!
    • change background colour

    This would be absolutely amazing, making it easy and quick to create simple to complex templates specific to their needs and preferences.

    There are images and paper templates I’ve imported but it’s frustrating to have it…
