  2. I've been making stickers to go together to make a whole picture, but I can't put them in the order I choose. They keep covering each other up in the wrong order I would like t put them in the order I choose.

  3. Hide bar showing the multiple files when I’m editing one specific file. Request: When I wanna switch, I’ll click the screen and call upon that bar to switch between files. Pictorially explained in photo.

  4. I want improved folder/ note organization where the same file can be placed in multiple locations without compromising space (e.g. if I have a folder labeled textbooks, but then want to access a specific text from a different folder like Year 1 Microbiology which includes lecture PDFs, notes, and review sheets).

  5. When using an Apple Pencil with the lasso tool, if I get too close to the edge of the page I frequently go just beyond the edge, causing the lasso tool to think that's the end of the lasso area selection. This typically does not result in the desired area being selected.

    Instead of terminating the lasso area selection when going out-of-bounds, snap the lasso selection to the page boundary and continue lasso area selection.

    (This seems to be the behavior of the macOS app when using the lasso tool with mouse. It would be good to enable similar behavior…

  6. I'd like to be able to select some handwriting, "right-click" to convert the text, and be able to directly make a text box which contains that text from the "convert to text" window.

    Currently, I need to convert to text, copy, go make a text box, then paste into that box.

    I think it would be a nice little time saver.

  7. I’m amazed that people have been suggesting direct access to Dropbox for YEARS now and nothing has come of it. Having to import documents from Dropbox into GoodNotes file management system is ridiculous and tedious; let me open the file directly from Dropbox and save it directly TO Dropbox rather than having to import and export!

  8. it will be ok to import a picture ( for example a nautical compass), filtering white so it can be transparent ( already possible now ) and make an area impenetrable so that we can draw straight lines during lessons.

  9. 我有一個這樣的想法,在整個頁面中提供內置的一個個小頁面。這些小頁面可以通過添加的按鈕打開,但這又不同與超鏈接。這樣做的好處是可以不影響整個頁面佈局的前提下使筆記更一目瞭然。希望你們能採納我的這個想法,期待您的回復。
    I have an idea to provide built-in small pages in the entire page. These small pages can be opened by adding buttons, but this is different from hyperlinks. The advantage of this is that the notes can be more clear without affecting the layout of the entire page. I hope you can adopt this idea and look forward to your reply.

    The original content of this content is Chinese, and only the original text can express the most accurate meaning.

  11. Hi,

    I have a lot of folders that contain subfolders.

    It is hard for me to search for documents, as I can only view one folder at a time in the list view mode.

    Can I suggest a multiple-level view in list view mode?

    Its something similar to the native files app on ipad.

    Hope to hear from your team soon.

    Thanks :)

  13. As a pyhsics student I quite often have to write integral and sum signs and in fact I love the function on the iPad that you can hold down the pen after drawing a shape and it draws it nicely for you. Maybe you could integrate some more shapes such as the ones mentiones above :)

  14. The tools bar takes too much space. I think it will be better if I can hind the bar which I circled in red.

  20. It would be great to have a marker, that covers already written text and when you click on it (with the finger, not pen), it shows you what lies beneath!
    This would be very useful for documents where you need to memorise the answers but first want to think of the question without immediately seeing the written solution beneath.
