  1. I love the idea of the text document, it creates a notetaking ability that is similar to one note. However, I would love for there to be more customization (font, spacing, drawing, etc) within this feature. ALSO I would love to be able to create class notebooks in which they are text document format but there is a separate menu within the notebook for each page. This was I can separate my notebooks by unit!

  2. Add an option to the document link that will open the linked document to the last viewed page instead of on a specific page number.

    Working on multiple projects that have multiple files can be challenging to navigate in Goodnotes. What I would like to be able to do is create an index page that will quickly let me open the files for a particular project. I can do this using document links, and that allows me to keep the logical structure of the project separate from the logical structure of the files. (For example, I might have a referenceโ€ฆ

  5. With the newest updates to Goodnotes, the order of menu items keeps changing. Sometimes, Copy is at the top of the menu, sometimes it is at the bottom of the menu. It appears this is called โ€œDynamic/context-sensitive menusโ€ and it is terrible. You now have to read the entire menu every time to figure out where Copy is located within the menu because the location of Copy within the menu keeps changing. Simple Copy and Paste now takes so much longer. Please either bring back the fixed menu or allow us to toggle the dynamic/context-sensitive menu OFF.

  6. With the latest updates to Goodnotes, the Copy function has been buried. The icon on the popup menu is now for Duplicate instead of Copy. If you truly want to Copy (select the item to paste elsewhere) instead of Duplicate (select the item to make a duplicate on that page), you have to click on the three dots and choose Copy. Bring back the Copy icon on the popup menu. No one wants extra work to do something so simple.

  7. Hello i have been using the new collapsible sticky note function to help with organising my notes into different categories. Previously when i did this with the previous sticky note stickers i was able to use the search function to find handwritten content but now it doesnt recognise handwritten notes on the collapsible sticky notes. I think this feature should improve or the resizable sticky note stickers should come back.

  8. Align left and align right are options for default formating in the text tool. But select center and the default option grays out. This is infuriating and needs to be fixed.

  9. As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.

    UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.

    Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should beโ€ฆ

  10. As much as I love CTRL+F on a keyboard, I can't do the same thing on Goodnotes. I understand that it has some trouble reading messier writing, but even when it successfully finds a word, it does not highlight in a helpful color. I have to search for at least 2 minutes to find it. Also, when you click on the page to go to the found word, the page does not move. Please fix this! It's not helpful!

  11. It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
    โ€ข Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
    โ€ข Rewatch how notes were created step by step
    โ€ข Create educational content or revision videos directly within the app

    Such a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.

    I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuouslyโ€ฆ

  14. In the newer versions, the blue changing points for drawing straight lines are very big. If you zoom in, it becomes impossible to be exact.

  15. Title
    Feature Request: Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)

    Body
    I would like to suggest adding support for personal server and NAS-based backups in GoodNotes, in addition to the currently supported cloud services.

    Many users operate their own servers or NAS solutions (such as Synology, QNAP, or self-hosted servers) for data ownership, privacy, and long-term storage. Supporting standard protocols would allow these users to back up GoodNotes data more flexibly and securely.

    Suggested supported protocols include:

    WebDAV

    SMB (Network Share)

    SFTP

    HTTPS-based API endpoints

    Potential benefits of supporting personal server orโ€ฆ

  16. When using cloud backup (e.g., Google Drive) in GoodNotes, it would be very helpful if deleting files or folders within GoodNotes also synchronized the deletion in the cloud drive.

    Currently, even after files are deleted in GoodNotes, residual files remain in Google Drive, requiring users to manually delete them separately. This creates unnecessary inconvenience and extra management work.

    Please consider adding two-way deletion synchronization between GoodNotes and cloud backup services.

  17. I am begging you, as a teacher that teaches multiple classes each day to add a feature to erase all annotation on all slides with one click. Right now, we have to erase each slide individually and if you have 20 slides, that takes some time. Then, you have to do that 5 times a day if you teach that class over and over. Please, one click to erase all annotation so we can clear with one click and restart the presentation fresh.
