text document
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!

Screen record
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:
• Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
• Rewatch how notes were created step by step
• Create educational content or revision videos directly within the appSuch 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 continuously…

Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)
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 or…

Make "Text Docs" searchable
You recently introduced "Text Doc". I figured that text within these Text Docs is not searchable. You only find words used in the title of each Text Doc which is obviously limiting.

Where is my "copy" option when using the lasso tool?
Oh... that's where the copy tool is! Buried behind the ( . . . ) menu, so now in layer two of the context menu when I have circled content I want to copy and move.
Why?
And I do realize there is a Duplicate option but I don't want to drag my content around behind me, I want to have the copied content ready to be pasted multiple times over without it visibly overlaying other content which Duplicate does.
But maybe I am just super old fashioned and want to copy and paste content all the time and therefore…

Improve GoodNotes AI Performance
Currently, GoodNotes AI can only be used for basic document search (an advanced version of search) and asking questions within a document. Even when hints or correct answers exist in the document, it often responds with messages like, “The requested content cannot be found in the document. I will answer using general knowledge.”
In addition, I would like the AI to provide answers that directly address my questions, but instead it often gives summarized or reorganized responses, making it difficult to find the exact answer I am looking for.
For example, when I ask, “Is XX correct?”, the response usually…3 votes -
Please put copy and paste back
Why did you change the copy and paste? It takes way too long to copy and paste an item now. I hate how it asks me a question each time I simply want to paste an item. I don’t understand this change. The question of “allow paste”should just be a setting you can pick outside of the regular function. I get behind in my note taking because i constantly have to answer the copy and paste question. The function was so much better before. Seriously considering different note taking app because of the tool changes. We were paying for a…

Floating views
When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.
It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.
And maybe…

Typing
I would like to report an issue I’m experiencing while editing text on the iPad version of your app.
When I select or edit a text box, the floating formatting toolbar appears directly over the text I’m working on. This makes it difficult to see the content underneath, especially when the text box is near the top of the page. The toolbar does not automatically reposition, and I cannot move it manually, so it constantly blocks my view.

The recognition speed for drawing perfect lines, curves, and shapes is too slow.
The recognition speed for drawing perfect lines, curves, and shapes is too slow. Would it be possible for the software to automatically identify the image and turn it into a perfect shape after I draw a relatively rough line? Otherwise, a lot of time will be wasted waiting for the drawing to become a perfect shape.

Video clips and more writing tools and drag and drop of specfic page to my mind map
Everything is good I mainly use Goodnotes for mind mapping my lectures the only hindrance I faced that I was not able to add video clips to my notes, and also when I import PDF of my lecture notes in good notes. I can’t just drag and drop pages from like a specific slide to directly into my Notes, which is like a another hindrance because I have to take screenshot again and again and then put it back in. Also, this one is not a criticism, but a suggestion that there could be more tools for writing. It would…

Make a visible scrolling bar
it's really annoying to have to leave the pen to scroll with the mouse because the scrolling bar is invisible. WHY?! i want to scroll with the bar on the side without putting away the pen to grab the mouse and scroll with the wheel. yes the scroll bar reappears when i scroll, but it's useless because it disappears after 2 seconds and does not appear in any way other than wheel scrolling with the mouse. VERY ANNOYING! scrolling should be available in few ways (like Adobe Acrobat) but here for some reason you only can scroll with the wheel.…

double click to activate text box
There was a time, in a previous version, where I could double tap a mouse or trackpad and a text box would appear. It would be great if that could return as it makes for a more seamless experience.

Text und Geodreieck
Geodreieck:
Wie viele andere Nutzer Wünsche auch ich mir ein Geodreieck. Dazu möchte ich, dass die Kästchen bei der karierten Vorlage angepasst werden(1Kästchen=0,5cm).
Text:
Das neue Update hat das Tippen auf der ganzen Seite verkompliziert.
Vorher waren Tippen und Tippen auf der ganzen Seite getrennt, jetzt muss man immer lange gedrückt halten, damit man auf der ganzen Seite tippen kann.3 votes -
audio
The audio playback feature is inconvenient because when I switch to another tab and come back, it doesn’t stay at the original playback position.
Also, I hope the audio playback feature can include a function to jump directly to the note position.3 votes -
font
I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.
Here are the details:
✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)
“New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button
Font toolbar is in the top ribbon
Custom fonts appear normally
✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)
“New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button
Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box
Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker

Mirror sketch
Everyone wants to mirror images, but what would be awesome is if you had any sketch and to be able to mirror its entirety to give symmetrical conduct, it saves not only time and energy but is also efficient and widely used in sketches.
So just a thought…
