option to choose whether shapes are filled or not
In previous versions of GoodNotes, when creating a shape (e.g. rectangle, circle, etc.), there was an option to choose whether the shape should be filled or not. This was extremely useful, because sometimes I needed just the outline of a shape, and other times I used the fill color without an outline.
With the new update, this option is gone. Shapes are always filled, and it’s no longer possible to have only an outline or only a filled shape without a border. This limits flexibility and makes it much harder to use shapes in different contexts.
It would be great…

Default Language for whiteboard
The new feature “White board” was launched, but the default language won’t applied.
My native language is Japanese, and I set it as a default language.
However, the default language for “White board” is not Japanese but English, and I need to change the language everytime. I hope this bag will be corrected.3 votes -

Neue Dimension für Seiten
Idee:
anstatt nur oberhalb und unterhalb Seiten einfügen zu können, könnte es eine weitere Möglichkeit geben: man kann auf Goodnotes auswählen, ob man eine Mindmap Struktur, Baumdiagramm Struktur, oder viele weitere Strukturen haben möchte. (Alle rechte vorenthalten)3 votes -
Comments
For built in comments could you make a section where you could look at all the comments you made throughout the notes and when you click on the comment in the section, it takes you to that comment wherever it is located

Automatic adjustment of internal links
When duplicating a notebook, the internal links should be automatically updated. Currently, you're redirected to the original notebook. It's very time-consuming to have to update each link individually, for example, in an annual planner.

Bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph View
Please add bidirectional links. I use Obsidian as a Personal knowledge management (PKM) vault and love its bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph view. Being able to see how notes reference each other makes large collections of notes manageable while also allowing me to make connections otherwise impossible to see. Please add so GoodNote can be my one stop shop for note taking.

Support for STEM Students (LaTex, Codeblocks, Circuit blocks)
I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

Eraser
We have two gesture options, squeeze and double tap. I would love to be able to set squeeze to bring up/put away the eraser and double tap to switch between my two most recent tools, but ignore the eraser as an option. That way i can go back and forth between my pen a highlighter without having the erase override one. Example: highlight something, double tap to write with the pen, squeeze to erase a mistake, squeeze to return to pen, double tap to go to highlighter.The highlighter/pen sequence could be totally separate from the eraser function.

MORE options for study sets please
As a student I very much miss some options for the study set feature:
For example needed are features like…
- overviewing ALL of the study sets
- Moving cards from one study set to another/putting sets together
- Changing layouts for flashcards
- Import study sets in bulk from e.g. CSV files
- Plan when which study set should be learned
Use tags in study sets and filter for them
Choose which study sets are currently interesting and a „pause“ function

Goodnotes on Macbook, PDFs text selection not present for copying text or highlight :/
I have noticed that, on the GoodNotes app for MacBook, I am unable to select or copy text from PDFs, even though the same PDFs allow text selection and copying in other PDF readers. I kindly request that you add this functionality to the GoodNotes app, as it would greatly enhance usability and user experience. Thank you for considering this feature enhancement.

permanent inserted picture
Many times when inserting a picture I do it to write on it but I must be very careful because it tends to move with any finger resize or displacement. could you add an option to kind of make it permanent once I insert it.

Keyboard Support for Math Equations
I'm genuinely surprised this feature hasn't been implemented yet—or perhaps I’ve missed something. As far as I can tell, there’s currently no way to input math equations directly using the keyboard. This is a significant limitation, especially for Mac users who don't have the option to handwrite equations.
It would be incredibly useful to have a way to insert math equations inline with text when typing, similar to how tools like Notion or Typora support LaTeX or KaTeX syntax—for example, by wrapping equations in $...$.
Given that Goodnotes already supports rendering math via handwriting recognition, the logic for equation parsing…

The ability to draw a line and automatically see its real-world length based on a set scale.
Dear GoodNotes Team,
I am a regular user of GoodNotes and I truly appreciate its intuitive interface and powerful tools for working with PDFs and handwritten notes. However, there is one feature that I—and many others in fields like architecture, engineering, and construction—am missing:
👉 The ability to draw a line and automatically see its real-world length based on a set scale.
Currently, it is only possible to measure distances using the ruler tool and manually set a scale. But when I draw a freehand line (without the ruler), GoodNotes does not display the length of that line. This makes…

Notes taking for Engineering students / professionals
Being an engineering professional this apps is not very conversant in taking Engg notes. It is requested to incorporate following.
1. Either allow to paste tables from excel sheets which should be editable or develop a tool to create table easily.
2. Allow to embed word file into Goodnotes. Also allow subscripts and superscripts like that in word.
3. Develop or create symbols to insert scientific, maths, geometry, Greek small
& capital.
4. Also insert function .
5. Most important while writing maths formulae it should be very easy and smooth. At present most of the time Goodnotes do not…3 votes -
Would anyone find value in being able to flip or control the transparency of an object?
When creating documents, I have wanted to include a picture behind my words without obstructing them. I’ve also wanted to flip the picture for a cleaner look. These are 2 features I often use in Canva and forget I don’t have the ability in Goodnotes. I love this program and enjoy the ability it provides to be creative!

carry over text boxes to next page
since you don't have the option to have main text go into the left hand column of the cornell notes, I have no option but to use the text box option. so when I am trying to copy and paste my 80 key words into the document I have to waste 2 hours manually breaking them up and putting them into each page since the text boxes don't just automatically carry over. completely ridiculous and suchhhhhhh a waste of time its driving me up the wall. or at least jus have the option for the main texting mode to work…

Resize image from corner or one side only
When resizing images in GoodNotes, the image always scales from the center. This makes it very difficult to align multiple imported images like sheet music pages. Please allow resizing from just one side or corner (e.g., like in Keynote or Pages).
This would make GoodNotes much more usable for music editors, designers, and people who work with imported documents. Thank you!
