  1. There is a move function to add docs into another doc, but it can only move one at a time, I often get lots of docs for reading in my classes and then import them into my notebook for the class to keep a record, If I were able to move multiple documents at once this process would be a lot quicker

  2. I think it would be very helpful to have the ability to give the files colour tags similar to the files app by apple. And then maybe a select option on the sidebar where you can select between your colour tags.

  3. Currently in Goodnotes 6 the only way that a generic curve can be approximated appears to be by a parabola, as a Maths major it would be helpful to be able to draw higher order curves (curves with more nodes) as the only way to do that currently appears to be by joining these basic curves which makes the overall curve appear to have kinks in it, adding an option to allow the user to control the number of nodes would be very helpful and appreciated.

  4. I love the new feature that involves internal links (linking to a seperate page within your document) however it is only accessible for a text box.

    I write most of my notes by hand with my Apple Pencil and would love to be able to use the lasso to select my handwritten notes and attach an internal link to other pages. The same could be said for elements/stickers

  6. I love that we can change the colour of files in GoodNotes 6 now, but I really want more options!! Have a file “preset” and add your own button would be great to make it customizable. Make it the same as adding new pen colours, with a button to open up more preset collections.

  7. This would be super useful instead of having to copy hex codes all the time in order to be able to use the same highlighter color on different devices .

  8. because i use the flash card sets to study for my psychology test, i have ended up with them cluttering the documents screen. it would be nice to have a way to merge them all into a combined flash card stack so that i just study one set and add it to the pile for me to study all at once later in the year

  10. I love the idea of having study sets in Goodnotes as it is very convenient. I just want to suggest more features for it like multiple choices, match a with b, sequencing, true or false, and an option to write down the answers for identification too would be very helpful to us students. Thank you and have great one!!

  11. I draw lots of diagrams. The scribble-to-delete accidentally deletes my diagrams.
    Give us an option to turn it off.

  13. I've seen posts asking for a version history function, presumably something similar to what google docs has.

    However, I would like to suggest an edit history function, where I get to see how exactly my document was built/written from the first stroke/text/picture to the last, like that of a timelapse. This would help a variety of users, such as people trying to build a mind map, where they would be able to not just visualize their thoughts, but also visualize the flow of their thoughts. This would also help students in seeing where their last annotation was or when any…

  14. It should be possible with one click from anywhere in the document view to get back to currently open tabs. Currently the only way to do this is to open another notebook via one direction or another. Why not have an option to “close” the document view and bring up the open notebooks?

  16. I like the dot grid because it’s more subtle than the squared grid, but unfortunately the dot grid is huge now and it sucks! I’d like to submit an idea to have the dot spacings be adjustable. This would be nice to have for the graphed and lined paper as well!

  17. App setting to choose to default the spell check for handwriting to off or on. Then inside a document, the ability to set it to off or on.
    I want to be able to default the spell check to “off” for all documents. Then inside a document if I want to turn it on for that document, allow me to turn it on.

  19. There are a few key items missing for digital planner users.
    1. Please allow digital planner users to click on hyperlinks in every mode - not just in read mode. Planners are hyperlinked so that we can get to pages quickly. Pressing and holding to open link is not efficient
    2.Now that we have move to front/back can we please get lock in place
    3. Copy and paste in exact same place on another page
    4. Customizable tool bar, more pen options, and more than one text favorite
    5. Get rid of drop down toolbar which decreases the planner space.…

  20. 1) Review diagrams by annotating on them and compare with the answer side by side

    2) Multiple question choice mode: AI Generates multiple choices for questions from sentences, words or images from flash cards already created.
